I'm no baker BBW, but shouldn't bread be baked rather than cooked.

But well done on taking bread back that wasn't.

I gather that a lot of 'baked on the premises' bread in supermarkets is shunted in ready prepared dough and 'ovened' by whoever is available on the day.

The 'fresh' bread can sometimes be as pale, doughy and limp as the ginger one out of Girls Aloud after three successive nights on the lash, or as tough and dark as former Spice Girl Mel B.

When what you're wanting is the perfection of a Beyonce style loaf. Nothing crazy 'bout that.

"and the manager is prick", loving you getting all Shakesperean on his 'sorry ass'.

No not at all my dearest DM, I don't do grudges or bitter just Peace Love and Tranquility Incorporated, with a smidgen of humour. I've just recovered from you standing on my neck with your leopard skin stilettos. I just have an issue with literal bullies.


You can't help yourself can you DM, you have an insatiable appetite for provocation, considering what happened the last time our swords crossed, other forumites were infuriated by my defence strategy and wanted to get at me in the guise of Scrappy Doo. However I thought that we had moved on from that stalemate and my offer of an Olive branch has been overshadowed by your latest assault to further bloody my nose.

Oh excuse me all over the place DM, Ive never really done the Forum thing until this place came along. but you know what I mean, that's just typical of you DM, always going for the jugular. I have no shame otherwise how on earth would I learn anything, thanks for the idiosyncratic lesson in Forum conversation mechanics DM.

I actually don't Mike, but I have a family wedding coming up and I was looking to impress some of my hick relatives from Croydon, and I reckon you've come up with the perfect outfit. They'll plotz!

I'd be grateful for some suggestions as to the positioning of the apostrophe. And accessories, dress up, or down?

It's just this sort of unsolicited input that makes the EDF the ginchy place to be that it is.

Thanks.

Hmm Mike, I don't know about the whole apostophe crotch notion.

There are going to be female first cousins from North Croydon there who may take it as an invitation to breed.

And you've only got to look at Piers Morgan to see how badly that can turn out.

Also I tend to baulk at clothing that draws too much attention to the groin area.

I'm a modest man, with a lot to be modest about.

But thanks for the suggestion. You're a mensch.

It's not just the fact that the bread isn't baked properly it's the fact that the manager thought otherwise and tried to get out of replacing them. I then took a fistfull of 'dough' and asked her to eat it. She declined but saw my way of thinking and replaced the loaves with Warhburttons. I'n DKH and Sydenham Savacentre the service is very good and there is nearly always someone on hand to help wether it be cutting the bread or some other task which requires a member of staff to go behind the scenes. At Sainsbury's Forest hill this is not the case as the mouth breathers of H.R hire utter spastics who need the customer to gently hold their hand in a job which requires the bare minimum. Did you know last year someone actually died in their carpark and it was a customer who ended up calling the ambulance before the management could get their arse in gear., Jesus wept!


I was so outraged at the utter incompetence of the staff at Sainsbury's Forest hill I returned with the shopping and for the first time since I was a kid I walked in there and picked up up a 3 litre box of Cape something or other valued at ?19.99 and walked out without paying. Did their security staff doing anything? DID THEY FCUK! And before the righteous brigade brand me a thief I don't care and I'm proud of myself because they are a bunch of shysters in there and deserve it.


Rant over.

      Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By Sue · Posted

      That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.

      Nothing to do with the topic of this thread, but I have to say, I think it is quite untrue that people don't make human contact in cities. Just locally, there are street parties, road WhatsApp groups, one street I know near here hires a coach and everyone in the street goes to the seaside every year! There are lots of neighbourhood groups on Facebook, where people look out for each other and help each other. In my experience people chat to strangers on public transport, in shops, waiting in queues etc. To the best of my knowledge the forum does not need donations to keep it going. It contains paid ads, which hopefully helps Joe,  the very excellent admin,  to keep it up and running. And as for a house being broken into, that could happen anywhere. I knew a village in Devon where a whole row of houses was burgled one night in the eighties. Sorry to continue the off topic conversation when the poor OP was just trying to find out who was open for lunch on Christmas Day!
