Even with your deliberate price smearing, I'm sure you do


Tell me, how much is flan/quiche at Ayres?

I do genuinely wish them the best of luck. Maybe if you used a long established local business such as Ayres you could find out the pricing on such items as flans and quiches for yourself?

It's in fact not far of the genuine price of this gaff is it.


But that info would dilute your backstab at this new place.


And I've used Ayes when passing for 20 + years, only not for Flan as I don't like undercooked soggy pastry and industrial butter in mine.


You might like that kind of thing, but it's pretty low grade in my opinion.


That said, I'm not a massive flan/quiche/tart/filled pastry person.

How did you learn about "industrial butter".

Google 'bakers butter alternatives'

The difference between 'real' butter and the industrial stuff Seabag speaks of is noticeable.


Real butter is, however, noticeably more expensive (and getting more so as we speak). I kind of understand why someone like Ayres isn't using mountains of Lescure; it would certainly put the price of the flan up!

Hi guys - I can step in and answer for Tart by sharing that we make all of our own pastry from scratch and use 100% real butter. While the prices of dairy are definitely rising, we've so far been able to absorb the cost internally without putting up prices.

If it is, the owner is now, and probably was even then, in clear breach of the law. As the owner would be if not paying the minimum wage or not taking 'legal right to work status' details from the job applicant. At least one owner/ manager of a LL enterprise (now closed) was certainly in breach of the last 2 elements.

Certainly wasn't dubious back then, I assure you. I'm obviously very happy if this is no longer the case, but my friend was left in no doubt as to the owners feelings at the time.


Times, and people, do change, hsppily.

Well, if you're going to insist on anything posted on the EDF as being 100% backed up by provable facts then this will become a dull place.


I once posted a bunch of stuff told to me even earlier than that by soldiers who had served in N Ireland. Should that not have been posted?


While I'm happy to concede it was a long time ago, and that things have apparently changed, I stand by what I said. You are of course free to decry me and I can handle that, by I think it's a slippery slope to insist that anything posted be completely verifiable.

Oh my days...


I voiced an opinion, based on something I believe to be true.


You reasonably point out that it was a long time ago, and insist on absolute proof.


Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa...


Now, that's two separate posts about Ayres that you have demanded 100% proof for. Seems to me like your quite defensive of them. Any particular reason for that?

I get EDhistory's questions, not wanting to see accusations that are unfounded


Only when others post spurious "Flan for a tenner" type posts I don't see the same questions, oddly.


If Ayres (and others) aren't cutting costs by using butter substitutes I'd be very very suprised.

I presume this is a dig at me. As ever, I am happy to be proven wrong, and I wish the new firm every success. What amazes me about some posters on here, is the utter contempt for long established and successful local businesses which have weathered various storms, and the eager anticipation at the arrival of something new. Why can't we be happy that these independent places are thriving here still, whether they've been here for 60 odd years, or are new additions to the neighbourhood?

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
