Brie. Brie? BRIE? Brie as in fancy, faffy, condescending, patronising FRENCH cheese?

What you want is a big chunky slice of proper Chedder in yer buns. What are you, a hipster or something?

I wouldn't eat the French muck out of principle. Somerset Brie is perfect, better than anything the French could make. Same goes for cheddar, has to be from Somerset with the "West Country farmhouse" label.

?1.50 for a hot cross bun that size I don't mind! (See picture)

And let's assume Brick House pays the bakers the London living wage which I believe is ?9.40. I think pricing it at ?1.50 is a bargain!


Let's break it down, shall we?


According to this recipe http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/hotcrossbuns_397

it takes 2 hours to make 12 hot cross buns


2 x ?9.40 = ?18.80

Divided by 12 = ?1.566666666666667

And that's just labour. Rent, electricity and ingredients are missing!

I don't know if they do make their own Buns.. They might buy in... From where ever..


.. But like I said..(somewhere) I don't think ?1.50 is that expensive for a sit in..

If you go to the Cheese Block the French brie is amazing. Rubbery it certainly isnt.

Indeed - the Brie de Meaux that sits on that back shelf threatening to ooze over the edge is a spreadable delight and truly one of life's joys.

    • I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?
    • Always preferred Grace and Favour to the BMC, commented in the past on this and sadly long since gone   
    • If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.
    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
