i don't think i would ever pay for just TOAST when i am out and about. It just seems wrong.

My contribution: All package sandwiches are a con, the cheapest in M&S is probably £1.50 for a terrible thin egg sandwich, but you can buy a whole baguette and pack of nice salami for less than £2 and make your own mega sandwich.

so I have to go out and get it if I want some. And I wanted some. Its good bread but could make it myself for like 2 weeks for the price of one day.

£20 bacon sarnie
£15 bacon sarnie
£12 bacon sarnie
£8 bacon sarnie

Went looking for a tomato soup the other day and they had one in TOSSED that was only 100kcals. I thought 'ooh must be cheap as its low calorie and practically nothing' NOPE. £3+

but you're not paying the bread and the spread. You're buying the conveinece of not having ot make it yourself and thaht's thre premium. I don't find it worth paying because I am control freaky about how my toast is spread.

no

just walk

been on self-imposed coffee shop ban but caved this morning and went to pret. was necessary for hangover purposes though.

and it would probably cost you 50p.

Rarely more than £1, tbh.

Wouldn't pay more than £3 for a sandwich, unless it was a fancy one in a sit-down place.

Went to a polish breakfast place on the way into town on Saturday, had an English breakfast (sausage, bacon, egg, beans, tomatoes) for £4. It was so tasty and good value, I ordered a second one straight afterwards.

Its the bread. I should have just gone to temples where 2 slices of wholemeal toast with peanut butter is £1.10. But I wanted a nice coffee :(

not the real world.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING. GO TO THE BAKERY AISLE. FRESH BREAD. CHEAP MEATS. BIGGER. CHEAPER. FRESHER. BETTER VALUE.

I won't stop till the rest of the world cottons on (unless this drives the price of my own lunch up, in which case I'll be very resentful).

Toast should never be more than £2, that's still paying for convenience but £3-4 for just the bread.

as i like those ones with all the syrup and special milk

even if you were on, i dunno, 55k, that's quite a hefty bill.

h_y_g: sir, hello, sir? what are you doing. A packeted brie and cranberry sandwich? You know you can buy a fresh baguette and lump of brie and pick your own cranberries for 1/3 of that price!

man: FUCK OFF....and put some trousers on

Except I always by enough for two days worth, then end up eating it all.

Thats the point of this thread. I'm not happy about it! I'd do it myself if I could but i'm not allowed. I won't be going there again (for toast - coffee is still good)

which had been gatthered up into muslin cloths by virgins in France, or whatever.

COME ON (said in the voice of Jobe from AD. Yes, this is my new thing. COME ON.)

you could make a coffee as well?

in the city, that's not right

my point is you're probably paying for a bit of their overhead as well as the specific bread itself, unless their bread costs £25 per loaf, which I doubt.

And if it costs £25 per loaf, then WTF?

It's not just convenience either, they've got to pay for the staff, rent, utility bills, decor, lighting etc etc. It all sounds obvious but people often forget this stuff and have no idea how it adds up. And being an independent or cooltrendy place they presumably will have spent more on all of the above in comparison to a greasy spoon or something.

also a top end loaf of bread might cost you 4 quid.

rather than Hovis wholemeal which you'd get in a greasy spoon.

French loaf - £2.50 to buy, £3 for 2 slices.
Hovis - £1.30 to buy, 50p a slice?

felt fine handing the money over. it was only when exiting the shop the full force of what had just happened hit me.

I'm not going to eat toast at 6am and be starving by 9 to save a few bob.

How do I disconnect my twitter fROM this place?

packet said 65p, got charged 60p

everything's coming up japes

how are you the only person that ends up doing this?

However they can sell their toast for £1/£2. I'm paying for wanky bread thats what I'm paying for.

*I really don't. I had to write L and r on my hands for my driving test.

have some toast in the morning and a cup of coffee
whilst making the coffee put some in a thermos for later (or just make a coffee at work if you are allowed to do this).
take an apple / banana to work to eat at work when you get peckish.
also - stop commuting THREE HOURS to work.
that's crazy.

Like the worlds slowest toaster.

*shut yer

I'd expect artisan toasting methods. Then I'd torch the gaff.

ten years from now you'll look back and think
"if only i hadn't spent £15,600 on morning toast!''

What a bunch of cunts.

think i got into an argument with theo about this once. basically, paying for toast from a cafe is utter LME madness

if only I hadn't spend £3 on toast that one time

WE SHALL SEE

I eat it around 10ish.
If I make toast at home, I won't eat it as I'm not hungry and if I was hungry and ate it, I'll be starving by 10am again. This is just the way my body works I'm afraid.

Not when talking about his suit? I DUNNO

this whole thread is a lie isn't it

because he went into a cafe on his neon bicycle and ordered two slices of toast (plain probably)

and when you hand it over they give you a slighty weary look but then are seemingly somewhat impressed?

I don't have to. I just wanted toast today as i usually have weetabix but I've had a stomach bug so can't have dairy for a while.

by law?

People were getting sandwiches, coffee and snacks from cafes for lunch and sitting (or standing!) in some crappy crowded place for £10 all-in. I went to M&S and got an egg sandwich, a pork pie, a banana and a drink all for about £3-4 max and sat in a park in the sun.

..............................................................................................................................................yes, I am happy to proceed with the payment

more than like £2.

seems like a bit of a waste of everyone's time

something to tell the grandkids about

that employing someone to fetch your toast for you is the way to go

MY LONDON LONDON BRIDGE

or it's not clear.

thanks for asking.

I'll pay you £5 if you fetch the toast for me. That means you'll make £2 and i won't hit you.

like if you went to tesco and bought a small bottle of water, you wouldn't really need to look at the price as you know its going to be around the 60-70p mark, no? just me?

Toast.
Coffee.
Magazines.

has a place that charges £5 for a portion of chips. Not even a big one.

You have my sympathies.

and she said "what? oxford in london?"

I

Sick fucks.

I think he might make me go on a rollercoaster. I've never bene on one before. I hate places that are full of pushy annoying stinky people, like this is surely going to be.

I'll block out the memory by going to a proper Christmas market in manchester (on saturday, with andyvine and his mum.)

serious?

haven't really been paying attention to anything south of birmingham until now

I'm starting a thread.

Its hell. Its like standing on a conveyor belt full of people but with buggys being rammed into the backs of your legs.

go for it

I started it around the end of Nov.

I am being made to. I'll try to postpone until after xmas :)

i'm the only one that knows how to toast my toast.

'excuse me sir, could you please perform a task for me that i only know how to do to my exact specifications'

'of course. that will be six pounds please'

'excellent'.

fuck that mate. it's just like when i paid for a handjob. pointless.

What if it breaks? Or what if I break? I am a mere flower, you know.

don't answer, i don't care

Me telling her I only had £6 was supposed to put an end to the proposition, but apparently £6 was enough.

is that there's loads of greasy spoons run by Italians whose families came over in the 50s so if the fancy takes me I can get loads of toast for like 50p with a guy in a white coat who goes *Ciao, il toast? Izza fifty facking pence geezer*

To celebrate not having to go opp north today.

It's that or pie and mash from EAT. Oh man, what to do??

really?

Like jacques' comedy, or his old dear's shoulders.

granted they do slap on the butter like they're icing a cake, unless you tell them explicitly not to.

and its not good sushi.

and I only get £5.58 an hour.

So I go in and buy shit loads for fuck all

I didn't know that. I'll definitely be making use of that information soon. Maybe tonight.

You'll be glad you came!

That's what the Danes call it

THanks sweetie, I would have loved that but I have my team xmas dinner and then I need ot show face at a leaving drinks party.

always end up ordering too much and it's $$$
really good though, like damn

Often pushing ten quid or more for a burger and chips. Then you've got to go and get a pint while you are there. They are usually nice mind.
