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.

    • Police should be redirected to stop cyclists.  Well that is what is being suggested elsewhere Telegraph journo either put a message on social media that was hate crime, or just plain hate and that did not meet the bar for hate crime.  In any case it is a potential hate crime and I'd like my police to respond to this - up to them how and the priority. It's been picked up by the rabid media including GB news, as yet another thing to rant about. Edited, to add.  I've been subject to crime over the years and wouldn't like to trivialise it.  It's wrong,can be highly personal, and frustrating when the criminals are not caught.  One of my early threads here was when a bike was stolen and immediately on Gum Tree  I'm not in the hug a hoodie brigade, although we should understand why people may be attracted by criminality and society needs to address this  However I detest those who use the opportunity to plug their own agenda, as soon as the Telegraph journo was quoted that set me off  
    • There was someone of that name living in Wandsworth over ten years ago.  I can PM the address if that would help?
    • PCSO's  are NOT real police,  They DO have the power to ask the real police to arrest someone, but then again so do you and I?
