    I was trying to avoid that one, it’s a f’ing bread roll. The word doesn’t even tell you what type of bread roll.

    :)

    Indeed, but a bread roll filled with porchetta from a street stall with a long queue of chattering Italians is thing of beauty.

    Though in the interest of fairness, I'd be just as happy with a pork batch with apple sauce from a good hog roast stall here. Just the queue isn't usually so stylish.

    Italian pedant mode on, cantuccini are small cantucci. Cantucci could equally be what SG means, but without seeing the size of them I can't say with any certainty. Don't get me started on "can I have a biscotti" or even worse "can I get a biscotti".

    Just relised they are those horrible little hard biscuit things that they always have loads of in Cafe Nerro because nobody every buys them (or used to).

    If only my shed was bigger, I could get some crude oil and they would pay me to take it!

    Gotta refinery up there in yer shed? Or do you have a use for hydrocarbon sludge? Mebbe ye'd sell it to yon locals as bevvy? Though I suppose if you had space for a million barrels, they would pay you 5 million to take it, then if the price rises back up to usd 50 per barrel, you just sell it. Let's ask wheelspinner if he's close to a port, and fancies storing a million barrels of crude.

    Good idea Hoppy.

    Those cantuccini? If so, I feel your pain bruv. Any other sort of cantuccini? Just have a custard cream.

    these are cantuccin, though there's another cafe that still has the full size ones, sometimes i get one there, all takeaway of course at the moment

    You can store it in my oil tank, room for circa 1300 litres currently

    I've just bought a few million barrels and given your house as the delivery address :)

    Thanks for that. I'm sure farmer boy will let me use his field.

    Funny; he's a 20 year old Dutch boy. He bought the farm for £2.4m. His dad is in the oil business.
    (Perhaps now, he'll give the farm to me for £24).

    I'll give him his due - he works hard, he's amenable and it's made quite a difference given shared perimeters etc.
