Leaving NO BREAD for the everyday shoppers

Will know one think of the children!!!!!

Is it just me who has been wondering for some time why DulwichFox, and more recently Louisa, need to put their names at the end of every post, despite the fact that one just has to glance at the "posted by...."immediately above the post to see who has written it?

why DulwichFox, and more recently Louisa, need to put their names at the end of every post

Old fashioned politeness?

Didn't think they had online forums in the olden days!

Nah it's not that unusual... it's superfluous, but I've been noticing it on forums/boards for over 20 years...

In an effort to keep this thread on topic, surely there's someone around who can multiply the loaves so there's enough to go around for everyone? How are they for fish?

[Louisa]

AM the fish stocks are always awful in the co-op and I've had run in's with staff previously, especially on smoked cod and haddock. I tend to use soper's of Nunhead for that very reason. However, the bread is no excuse, as they tend to be stocked up but then it miraculously vanishes at the blink of an eye when a greedy local cafe decides to clear the shelves. I'm not denying this store has major stock issues, nor am I denying the powers at large could do more to remedy this, but equally it is a co-operative, the clue is in the name, businesses are not entitled to take whole shelves to re-sell on, it's just madness and selfishness at this time of year especially. We don't even know how far the OP had to travel to get their favourite loaf.

On the topic of me signing off, I've always done it, it's not a recent thing, nor do I think it's superfluous. I could argue going to a 'look at me' restaurant on opening night is a bit uncalled for, but I couldnt possibly stoop that low!

Louisa.

'miraculously vanishes'....good one.

[nxjen]

I'm going round to the Co-op and stare at the bread shelves then blink an eye and see a miracle happen.

[Willard]

This thread has gone very stale, knead to move on now....

Eh?

What is significant about that?

If it is significant, then I certainly have missed it :))

It's 'may have' DulwichFox, not 'may of.'

But perfectly acceptable South East London (East Dulwich) before the incomers came.

It's fun being taught how the speak/write proper.

This has been pointed out to him before.

If an electrical engineer, you'll appreciate that pendants can be a bit difficult to put in their place...

The silly season is upon us, another serious thread turned into a fox hunt.

Sounds like the cafes have already got an arrangement that's working out pretty well: "I'll pop in and buy bread if I need it".

I suppose Edna's Cafe could negotiate a Just-In-Time baked goods contract with a distributor with KPIs and SLPs, but probably they've decided it's not worth their time.

[Dogkennelhillbilly]

I blame ironic middle class hipsters mocking Dulwich's traditional working class values by flooding the area and then demanding to be fed expansive sandwiches made from cheap supermarket bread. I've heard about their sickening Sunbeam parties and it's disgusting. They're flaunting their inverse snobbery and it's literally depriving us of our daily bread.

[Zebedee Tring]

A **serious** thread? You must be joking! It's more like a satire on a typical EDF thread.

[Jennys]

Some enterprising person might be able to start a bread making class in East Dulwich teaching people to make bread that tastes of a mixture of chalk and cotton wool and lasts for six months thanks to all the preservatives in it.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

How are they off for water, oh, and wine?
