Hey Grandad, have you tried buying a cup of coffee anywhere in the UK this century? Requires an Italian language lesson followed by a brief on Australian/American slang.


And we started calling greasy spoons "cafes" in the 1950s.

Oooh let's take a guess!


The French are crazy about their bread though, aren't they? Queues out of the door in any decent neighbourhood bakery on a daily basis...

I stand corrected. Bizarre how that's before I was born yet something I've always thought was true.


Still, online searching shows the baguette voted best in Paris still on costs 1.2 euros or about ?1.


Why can't that be done here by good bakers? Overheads can't be that different can they?

In colloquial Egyptian Arabic the word for bread and the word for life are the same - aish.


Here in post-Thatcher Britain, of course, bread means money.


This is the sort of faux profundity that sounds best delivered over a glass of coffee and a pair of worn corduroys, so I am just the tw*t to make it.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
