People pay quite a bit more than that for coffee................. coffee!

Just saying
I was going to make the same point. Anyway trying to justify the cost against raw ingredients is a stupid argument, any service has a mark up, the reporter obviously had an agenda against hipsters its all rather pathetic.

Poverty zone? Tower Hamlets is a poor borough with areas like Whitechappel, Stepney and Limehouse but Brick Lane and the surrounding area is swamped with these kinds of establishments as it is on the edge of the city....you struggle to buy a pint for less than a fiver in the pubs around brick lane so a bowl of cereal for £3 is not surprising!

That makes the Sausage Roll in the bakers in Gardner street a snip at £2.50. Mind you I still feel aggrieved that Dukes @ Komedia have the affront to try £2.60 for a singular Scotch Egg.

If it's good*, I'll pay whatever it takes for a scotch egg.

*Has to have TheDonkeyCentreHalf's seal of approval.

Don't get me wrong, I think they are bellends and the idea is shit. Total "Nathan Barley" numpties

But the journalism was sensationalism of the worst kind, he was spoiling for a fight. In the grand scheme of gentrification of the East End of London, are the real enemies a copuple of bearded idiots selling other idiots overpriced cereal or is it something like the New Era Estate fiasco?

Abso-ruddy-lutely. The Cross Keys in Nottingham bangs them out for about £3. They're the size of baby's head and the joy of eating one is akin to your first orgasm. Best one I've ever had (and I'cd had a few...).

As for the cereal, it's certainly not a stupid idea whilst you have a plethora of Nathan Barley types to lap it up.

I'm with you brother. Whilst I'm already living a glorious bearded existence I can tell from the amount of clean shaven men out there that the word needs to be spread.

A couple of years down the line you'll be nailed-on disappointed with that faddish look. You'll be like 'My God! What was I THINKING?! :facepalm: '

Regularly pay over the odds for a chocolate bar or bottle of cherry coke from vending machines. Can't be arsed to spend 20 minutes getting more for my money in the local supermarket. Such is life. You pay your money...

Now I've thought about it I actually think a new type of business model has arisen. You had:

d2c = direct to consumer
b2b = business to business

We've added:

c2c. The c doesn't stand for consumer however.

What a couple of c0cks! Mind you a walk around central B-right-on at any time of the day will see a few dozen clones of these bellends strolling around doing their best to be noticed. I saw one the other day, I'm going to call him Frank. Frank was a beardy hipster like these two, he was wearing a trilby, blue check shirt with non matching waistcoat, skinny brown cord trousers and get this a pair of brogues but one was brown the other was black. To cap it all he had a waxed mustache and was smoking a pipe! I imagine he worked somewhere in the Lanes/N.Laine area in a boutique shop selling industrial artwork or dolphin friendly shopping bags or some such sh1te.

Did he have a guitar? If not, I bet he owns one.

No doubt. Its funny, I consider myself quite a decent fella, I try not to make snap judgements on people based on how they look but sometimes you just see someone and you can't control it you just think, "What a tw.at". My first thought was, "he's not from Brighton, he must be an Oot (out of towner)".
