BBC looks at a traditional UK bakery
One for the Brits here (or those with access to a UK proxy)... The BBC2 series "Mary Queen of Shops" yesterday featured their retail business adviser offering guidance to a traditional high street bakery whose trade was dropping off a bit. Lots of familiar staples on camera (bloomers, wheatmeal, wholemeal, chelsea buns, jam tarts etc.), such as you would have seen in most bakeries here twenty years ago, and a fair bit of footage of the bakery at work.
Alas, there wasn't a meeting of minds. My sympathies lay with Paul the baker.
Anyway, as I said, if you have a UK IP address you should be able to watch the programme for the next six days at:
R.
