Cracked the second one.


To be honest, the first one was overdone when it arrived too. Half hard yolk and half still just runny.


I know these are little gripes, but at ?4.50 it's the little things that have to be perfect every time.

I never at any time suggested that ?1.50 for a bun in a cafe was expensive..


Although the price differential with gettin 12 buns for the same price might suggest so..


.. But the Brick House is a Bakery and equipped to make them in bulk as required.. and may not be any better than

those bought from a supermarket..


You are easily annoyed...

I'm not defending either, just some use a pre made mix and others don't


Ayres are less expensive


Home made are great, if you have the will


Next gritty subject: Homemade Easter eggs are way better than a ?20 fancy pansy one

And there we go, Ayres and Brickhouse are not that far apart


Maybe that's how Lady Ayres drives her Range Rover/Audi


Still she speaks all kinda South London, so that's OK


And Morrisons and the like produce them by the mile, so HOT X carpet buning the market into a penny war



Eggs made of chocolate, can we talk the shit out of those next, then Xmast trees and the price of fluid from lactating omnivores

I feel your 'peak' pain fonread


In 1919 or somewhere close to that they discovered/dug up the Kohi Nor diamond


Last year in 2015 they dug up a bigger one, at the same mine


The EDF is much like that mine, it just takes patience and a lot of digging

Ok, so in the Fantasy Ayres Cafe, how much a buttered Hot X bun


?1.49p ?


Anyway, that aside, they're all missing a trick


Who eats only one Hot X bun at a time?

Nobody, so why not produce a double XX Hot Cross Bun. Twice the size, more like a bap, in this super sized society it would be a winner


New thread next year: How much for a hot X bun in La la la


?3.00 and off we all go again

31k tweets, much of them are in the 'thinking out loud' style


If I were to advise them in a marketing capacity, I'd say set up different business/personal accounts


Keep you personal stuff away from the brand, it gets messy otherwise.


I wonder if Louisa follows them on Twitter


Good luck tho, he certainly works hard/plays hard (in between tweeting about 30 times a day)

I don't follow them on Twitter because I don't care for too much social media as previously stated. I just love their food. They have the most amazing buttery sausage rolls around.
