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.

    • Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.
    • Dawson Heights again  2 lifts out of order at ladlands block Christmas Eve so of course the 🛗 will not be repaired tomorrow Christmas Day or Boxing Day or when how do elderly or mothers with children and prams and food and presents get to the floors and with the 10 minutes you get to drop off  to park and not get a Pcn fine and delivery food to relatives who can’t leave their house unbelievable Southern housing does any know email address of Coe of southern housing 
    • Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
    • Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list.  Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.
