Let Them Eat Brioche

23 March 2013. Zena and I smiled at the name of this stall in Brick Lane.

 

We'd been joking about foolish London councillors who failed to anticipate criticism for hob-nobbing with property developers in Cannes.

 

But instead of brioche we walked on to the Beigel Bake at 159 Brick Lane for some Beigels to take home to Tottenham on the 149 bus.
