I'm watching top of the shop on BBC 2.
I can't believe the prices that they are charging for the goods.
£3-80 for a loaf of bread.
£1-00 for a pretzel.
£3-75 for a chocolate brownie.
GULP....

Sounds more like it's One Born Every Minute you're watching. :-)

Yep...that word "artisan" hikes prices several-fold.

Well you couldn't give me a pretzel but yes the prices seem steep but so called artisan bread can cost that and more. The brownie is just for people with more money than sense.

I went to Chatsworth farm shop last week. They were asking 65p for a Longley Farm yoghurt. You can buy exactly the same product in Morrisons for 30p. I did buy some oatcakes, though.

Dunno, Tony. The duke of Rutland (Haddon Hall), does too.

But it is cool to demonstrate wealth by paying £3.80 for bread it lets the poor know in no uncertain terms that the BBC has no interest in them. It is called equality.

Oddly enough, supplies often arrive in the same van/truck that drops off at Bert's Bakery on the high street.

It's really all about the bag and the neighbours innit.

Having had the luxury of trying a loaf of artisan bread (that cost nearly £5) from Borough Market, I can honestly say that it was absolutely delish. Not something I'd buy every week, but for a treat, it was well worth it.
