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.

      Any updates? - Sidings East Dulwich on the top of Railway rise

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      Had council stock not been sold off then it wouldn't have needed replacing. Whilst I agree that the prohibition on spending revenue from sales on new council housing was a contributory factor, where, in places where building land is scarce and expensive such as London, would these replacement homes have been built. Don't mention infill land! The whole right to buy issue made me so angry when it was introduced and I'm still fuming 40 odd years later. If I could see it was just creating problems for the future, how come Thatcher didn't. I suspect though she did, was more interested in buying votes, and just didn't care about a scarcity of housing impacting the next generations.

      Actually I don't think so. What caused the problem was the ban on councils using the revenues from sales to build more houses. Had councils been able to reinvest in more housing then we would have had a boom in building. And councils would have been relieved, through the sales, of the cost of maintaining old housing stock. Thatcher believed that council tenants didn't vote Conservative, and home owners did. Which may have been, at the time a correct assumption. But it was the ban on councils building more from the sales revenues which was the real killer here. Not the sales themselves.

      roof repairs and guarantees

      By tropica · Posted

      I agree with Jenjenjen. Guarantees are provided for works and services actually carried out; they are not an insurance policy for leaks anywhere else on the roof. Assuming that the rendering at the chimney stopped the leak that you asked the roofer to repair, then the guarantee will cover that rendering work. Indeed, if at some time in the future it leaked again at that exact same spot but by another cause, that would not be covered. Failure of rendering around a chimney is pretty common so, if re-rendering did resolve that leak, there is no particular reason to link it to the holes in the felt elsewhere across the roof.

      roof repairs and guarantees

      By Dulwichlass · Posted

      Hey, I am on the first floor and I am directly impacted if roof leaks. We got a roofing company to do repair work which was supposed to be guaranteed. However, when it started leaking again, we were informed that the guarantee is just for a new roof and not repair work. Each time the company that did the repair work came out again over the next few years, we had to pay additional amounts. The roof continues to leak, so I have just organised another company to fix the roof instead, as the guarantee doesn't mean anything.
