When, oh when will all those retailers with panettone do the decent thing and get it in the sale? I am esp. eyeing up the ones hanging up in EDD - but I'll be damned if I'll pay more than a tenner for one. (They are currently being sold for in excess of twenty notes). Since so many people on da forum seem to be detoxing (ghastly word, that), surely demand is at an all time low?? Come on, retailers....slash those prices!

As a Panettone fan I can guarantee you won't be disappointed by those at Lidl. I tried one to see whether at ?2.99 they could be any good and they are! Just without any expensive crunchy sugar or fancy toppings on the outside.


I think I'll pop down there this week and get another...

Italian bakers produce some 117 million panettone and pandoro cakes every Christmas -- worth 579 million euros (416 million pounds). By law they must be made according to strict rules, including using only butter and beer yeast.


But those rules do not apply abroad, meaning exported Italian cakes may not be up to scratch, and foreign-made versions may only bear a vague resemblance to the tall, puffy, golden desserts prized by Italians.


"We can't let all these imitators use a name, a brand that gives them a link to territory that isn't theirs -- in a way they are mocking consumers,"

Allfornun, the LIDL ones are actually made in Italy, but I take your point. So is plenty of crappy pasta and I can't bear non-bronze die product.


I find it hard to imagine that a twelve quid panettone could be four times better, but I am now tempted to buy a more expensive one from somewwhere (on sale, of course). Perhaps you would consider trying the LIDL one and letting us know your opinion.


Unless that's below you of course.....

There is nothing poncey about Pannettone, just because you ED foodies relate ponceyness to price then it is no wonder things just get marked up and up and up ! And personaly I think if you start to get too involved in someone's business, if it was me, you 'd be in the fryer with the coley. - And it's not the Rye it's Peckham Common actually !

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
