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.

    • There's probably a bigger discussion on why we celebrate Christmas (pagan/religious festival) and why everything has to shut down.  I've enjoyed Xmas days in Spain, Mexico and France where some businesses and restaurants are open, and in a number of non-Christrian countries.  In both sets of occasions it has been festive, but not over the top and the Spanish seem to have a more relaxed attitude in a country where the church is probably more important than the UK.  A Lounge conversation.  I'll no doubt be popping into the Forest Hill Road supermarket on Xmas day for things we have forgotten, with many others in a similar situation who grew up in the Christian faith (I've long since been an atheist).   
    • Would anyone have ends of balls of wool, any colour, to mend an old blanket? Any colour? With thanks Mila
    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
