Pinboard: Kentish Town Road is Going Green. Plus – A Reader vs Greggs!



More Art with a Historical Twist?

Jewish Museum

The Jewish Museum London, tucked away off Parkway on Albert Street, is hosting a retrospective of the work of R. B. Kitaj, one of the most significant painters of the post-war period. His work defied the trend in abstract art prevalent in the 1960s and brought him to the forefront of British figurative painting. The exhibition will feature over 20 works in which Kitaj explored his Jewish identity, including iconic paintings such as The Wedding; If Not, Not; Cecil Court, London W2 (The Refugees) and The Jewish Rider.

Runs daily (not Saturdays) until the 16th of June. 129 Albert Street NW1.

  1. £1.35 your answer lies there. A quality product at the right temperature with pleasant service is not possible at that price. We need to start realising that food is to cheap. You’ll be complaining about the meat quality and extra ingredients used next.

      1. Also if they’re too hot there’s the chance of scalding the roof of your mouth thus ruining the enjoyment of your bake/pie/pasty. long live cold pies!

  2. What a ridiculous middle class pile of tosh.
    Firstly, could you not tell through the paper bag that it was cold?? Perhaps it was warm in the shop but after a 10 minute walk with it it had gone cold??
    But anyways, if you go to Greggs as much as you make out you’ll know they don’t sell “hot food”, they sell freshly baked food that is hot to start with and then cools off. If they intentionally kept it hot it’d be liable to VAT. Remember that hoo-ha in last year’s budget??
    Perhaps ask your office to buy a microwave??

    I wish my problems were as trivial as this.
