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.

    • OMFG is it possible for the council to do anything without a bunch of armchair experts moaning about it? The library refurb is great news, as it's lovely but completely shagged out - the toilets don't even work reliably. Other libraries in the area will be open longer house during the closure. July is a rubbish time to begin a refurb because it's just before the entire construction sector goes on summer holiday, and it would mean delaying the work another 8 months.

    • Second time Aria has completed a plumbing job for me and both times he’s been polite. Communicative, kept to time and completed the job. He’s very helpful and tidy as well. First job was ball valve in water tank, not easy at all. He and his team were fantastic. This time kitchen tap cylinders replaced and tap tightened.  Much appreciated, Aria thank you.
    • Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.
