Overheard at the LFGSS golf club bar

poor tube drivers

oxymoron

Over the £2k tax threshold is just being sensible. Expense that shit. Golfists wouldn't be looking for a solid deal, they'd be more concerned it was the right colour to fit in with their chums' or match their car's custom-painted exhaust tips.

custom-painted exhaust tips.

“Custom-painted”? It’s an exclusive, limited edition personally offered for them to purchase by the CEO of (brand), I suppose as a small thank you for the extraordinary amounts of money they’ve spent with them over the years. And let’s not mention the golf club visibility, really (brand) should be paying them to associate with their cars, hah hah hah.

custom

I believe our favoured term here is bespoke

Popped into my local Fortnum & Mason for a few essentials

Never knew they had other branches.

They operate under their sub-brand, 'Lidl'.

Market Street has great Red Leicester you know.

Tesco security gets really pissed off when you open the packets and bring your own crackers.

There're 51 other weeks of the year to try out different cheeses. Now isn't the time.

P.s. I got a good sized lump of Red Leicester in, will melt it onto hand sliced artisan sourdough on the 27th, then eat it with fava beans and a nice chianti.

I presume you're eating your relatives first.

Some location bias perhaps, I have no idea where the nearest surviving cheesemonger is. It must be 20 years+ since I set foot in one [dedicated, rather than a small fridge in a deli].

Walthamstow.

One has just opened in South Norwood of all places. #gentrification

They do say South Norwood is the new West Norwood

Queue is ridiculous right now.

2 questions; I have seen this bike in Blackheath a lot, do you know him? And is the cheesemonger pro or anti LTN? :P

Also the official cheese for LFGSS comes from Neals Yard no?

Haven't we got a cheesemonger on here?

Yes, I know him well. In fact, that bike was sort of my suggestion, via Vince and the Champagne Lasseaux cargo bike.

He is pro-LTN (as am I).
