'Also, on the point of mince pies, you can usually tell how middle class a shop is by the positioning of the mince pies in store. You'll notice Sainsbury's don't use the tactics of morrisons and ASDA by placing them in an eye grabbing location. They usually just casually plant them in the bakery area and rarely on offer, it makes them more desirable to the bourgeoise.'


So the working classes are basically lazy morons who don't know that they want something unless its piled up high and cheap in front of them???

I am borderline middle class in my wine tastes, but I tend to look for bargains, a much more working class trait. My mince pie theory goes a long way in classifying whole social class groups. Anyway, I'd like to wish a very middleclassmas to all my fellow EDers of the puff pastry mince pie loving variety, as well as the rest of us who are stuck eating totally unpretentious short crust pies and enjoying them just as much minus the shenanigans associated with pompousness. Cheers everyone!


Louisa.

    • Nice to see the property is going to reopen with a Newish business, good luck to them.
    • Of course they do, watching cookery shows and buying cook books is a national pastime. However you raise a good point that some people claim they are time poor and end up eating out / takeaways as sometimes a quick macciedee is cheaper and easier than making a quick nutrious family meal.  However to put it in balance, not many people have the knowledge, confidence and time to cook Persian so good luck to team persepolis on this venture. 
    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
