Do you boycott forfars

[nlf]

as wife to the manager in question and as i was on the phone to him at the time i can slightly sympathise with you - especially as when our son (who i would like to point out is only 4) really wanted a cake and forfars was the only bakery locally i got him one from there - the grief i got when the aforementioned manager returned home was unreal - i too am now banned from forfars!!!!

and now he has read that im a bad wife apparently!!

Lancing, just N of the station on the E side of the road.

There's a far superior bakers/deli across the road from there which I highly recommend, It's run by one of NSC very own posters as well.

I've even refused to eat communal doughnuts purchased by my boss if they came from forfars.

Parkins in Southwick Square gets my custom of a lunchtime, not Forfars.

I'd rather eat my own ear wax than give my money to those pieces of It'd probably tast better anyway (from what I can remember about their vomit-inducing muck)

Dare I own up to the fact that I had a pleasant conversation with Tim Cutress in the queue to get into the Dripping Pan this evening? Topics covered included REMF, the Albion, Newport County's prospects of reaching the Conference playoffs, and the time we spent in a band together some years back.

I didn't tell him where I bought my lunch today.

Dont use Forfars because of their objecting to Falmer although Tim Cutress is a STH I belive and also their bread is crap and goes dry in hours, rather than days.

Proper bread (without preservatives) does go stale very quickly though.

This is why is this country's supermarkets have to stock the most bizarre of items in my view "breadcrumbs"

Problem with these modern breads is they never get the chance to go stale, they go mouldy first. So many fantastic things you can do with breadcrumbs, but most people in this country never get to try them out because all that's readily available is "space bread"

I'm very lucky to have a proper old fashioned bakers near me and their bread barely lasts a day and a half. Unfortunately I can only get there at the weekends, but I look forward to it.

The days are long gone when you let bread go stale to use in bread and butter puddings or even an ordinary bread pudding. As you say 2 or 3 days and it goes mouldy.

Being only the wife and myself at home most times we tend to buy our bread in a little bakers in Worthing when we take my mother shopping, Hobdens on the corner of Clifton Road and Teville Road. When grand children are with us we use more so it is Iceland 2 for £1.60

Quite interesting the history of bread in this country - it has gone at a complete tangent to the rest of Europe.

I saw a documentary of it a while ago, it was all to do with changing the way bread was made to make it rise quicker and last longer. The techniques were invented here and "revolutionised" (*) baking post war.

(*) Read buggered the bread up

The effect has been a possible rises in intolerance to the specialised yeasts they have to use and bread being thought of as unhealthy stodge, since they pack it with fat to keep it "moist" and increase the shelf life.

Very slowly - bread is returning to the way people were able to enjoy it years ago. I'm obviously way too young to remember what bread was like first time round.

I think that you notice the difference if you make a sandwich and a lot of the 'suppermarket ' bread, especially cheap own label like Blue & White stripe tends to cling to the inside of your mouth as opposed to 'proper baked bread'

I bought her indoors a bread maker but have not persuaded her to try it yet although I keep trying.

They are ok, but very easy to use. Best thing about them is the timer - you simply throw all the ingrediants in, and get fresh bread to wake up to.

I think that I might show her your post

aah, the issue? I feel you've missed out on a free doughnut there (However if you voiced your opinions then you may have made a point). One of my customers bought me in a cheese pasty from there the other day and in my hungry hungover state woolfed it down (whilst chastising him for buying it from Forfars and covering him in pastry bits at the same time) but you see the crime (of giving Forfars money) had already been commited so that's why my consciece was clear, it tasted fuckin horrible though.
