I could've gone to Blatherwycke



So regarding Bread (and pastry based comestibles?) chat from a few pages back, I lived in France for a couple of years almost two decades ago. There was a boulangerie over the road that was on the way to the train station to work. Oh god the beautiful beautiful smells.

I miss that place. Having a Greggs wedged into a petrol station half a mile up the road isn't the same.

I still remember the little French bakery that used to be next to the entrance to Holborn station meaning on the escalators, as trains entered and left, you'd get a rapid alternation of that grease/disinfectant/ozone/sweat smell of the tube, or the smell of freshly-baked bread and cakes, fired straight up your nose. I feel like that's the sort of thing that you could actually use as some sort of torture.

The French are serious about their bread. The worst bread you could buy at the giant Monoprix in Montesson was a sliced loaf of 'pain de mie' also known as 'pain anglais' that featured a cartoon guardsman and a union jack on the packaging lol.

He's getting that Cameron ham glaze now.

He's also ruined the word forensic for me. I can't hear it now without snickering.

At least we might finally get some Workers' and Peasants' Militias, is there anyone who'll sell us a few cases of Mosin-Nagants for cheap?

I hope so, the road to full Yugoslavia has a start which sadly includes the police & army handing out assault weapons to the gammons.
