I have had my lunch in the cafe on the square today and I have to say it was absolutely brilliant value for money.My friend and myself had a lovely warm baguette sandwich each and a salad and chips to share and two great big piping hot brews of tea and it was about £5.50 each (not sure exactly cos she paid) . There was tones of food and it was lovely and fresh and home made. The atmosphere in there was lively friendly chatty and homely . I don't eat out often but this was such amazing value I will go in again I am sure .Give it a try.

Kunzel cakes! i had an addiction to those! Bun cases is what we had in bun trays (as described above. ) a bun is what the Americans, having "bigged it up", call a muffin.. and sadly we do too now because we don't value our heritage. There were iced buns, now bigged up by the Americans and called cup cakes, and there were fairy cakes, but a butterfly bun which is my favourite, will always be a butterfly bun, not a moth muffin or a caterpillar cup cake ...stay out of our Afternoon tea terminology Americans, you don't know the half of it!!

Lets hear it for the butterfly bun!
If you buy some of the offerings of "american muffins" they are so loaded with bicarb to make them rise to the huge proportions that swell out of the case that they don't taste of anything. There is a lot to be said for a simple bun made from flour, eggs, sugar and butter. Overload the bun case slightly to get a nice overhang if you like them like that but huge plant pot sized offerings are not really buns whichever way you look at it.

Ian, the mention of Americans prompts me to ask: when you dress up in your American serviceman's uniform do you talk like an American too? David Suchet says that when he puts on Hercule Poirot's clothes he automatically talks and walks like the detective!

Have been in the cafe this afternoon, Keith there as usual to chat and hand out cups of tea and chocolate buns. He said Gus was in earlier. Gus is always taking photos, and Stanley calls in occasionally with Jack having to wait outside. Poor Jack !

In a word Tiz, no. If you can't do it convincingly, leave it alone is my motto. I dress like a Yank and dance the jive and other popular steps they brought over with them but that's it. Likewise when I dressed as French civillian in FFI, I don't try and do a french accent either. I suppose I am most at home in my battledress badged for the Duke of Wellingtons Regiment as my dad was. Got the accent off to a tee in that persona.

Sorry, when Jack is tied to the post I'm in Chaudrie's buying veggies. He can see me inside the shop and doesn't mind. I can see him as well, no dogknapping while I am on duty!

Dogs are very patient. But they're always happy to see their master coming out of the shop !
