I am sitting with the doors open and omg some antisocial bastard of a neighbour is toasting hot cross buns.

Don't you realise that some of us forgot to stuff some HCBs into our baskets so are going to be HCB deprived for the next couple of weeks, and that moreover for some of us an HCB is something they only eat at this time of year, that we refuse the temptation to buy them out of season so the scent of their spicy crisp loveliness drenched in good unsalted butter wafting across the back fence is almost unbearable? Hmm?

If you carry on like this neighbour, I will have to unleash my inner Liam Neelson and track you down........

YANBU.

I wish I had some now.

clareOclareO · 26/03/2020 09:19

Difficult one. You are right to want to track down the offender and "take care" of them, but for the wrong reasons.

Hot Cross Buns are vile. NOBODY should be buying/selling/eating them, whether in the currant crisis or not.

EyeSoLated · 26/03/2020 09:20

Ohhhhhhh Sad

Desperateforadviceplease · 26/03/2020 09:23

You are very umreasonable for reminding me that i have no hot cross buns!

Hot Cross Buns are vile

How dare you.

Falangalangadingdang · 26/03/2020 09:28

You are not alone, we don't have any either.

It's sad times when we are feeling jealous over a neighbours toasting regime Grin

I normally don't like them but M&S Blueberry Hot X Buns or the Salted Caramel ones are divine.

AlCalavicci · 26/03/2020 09:32

Thank you @viques you have just given me the ideally way to torture my neighbours that decided everyone in the street wants to listen to their crap taste in music all day

SlothMama · 26/03/2020 09:46

Feeling smug with the hot cross buns I remembered to purchase and freeze last week Grin

AnotherMurkyDay · 26/03/2020 09:47

I can't leave the house to get any. I hate you all

AnotherMurkyDay · 26/03/2020 09:48

I'll just have to sob and eat crumpet ffs

gingerscot · 26/03/2020 09:48

YABU it has to be SALTED butter. Always 😂

DrMadelineMaxwell · 26/03/2020 09:49

I have 2 left from the one pack I bought just before the lockdown news.

They aren't going to last long but I don't want to use them us as then I'll have none!

NewYearNewJob123 · 26/03/2020 09:50

Police. NOW.

BillywigSting · 26/03/2020 09:54

Had a packet of six and ate them all in two days and now I am cursing past me for being a greedy fucker and not saving any for present me.

I too am stuck with crumpets.

They're just not the same.

Won't get more now until next week, probably Tuesday or Wednesday if we're clever about how we use what we have left.

sueelleker · 26/03/2020 10:06

My husband loves them, and has one for lunch every day. I think I've got about 6 packs in the freezer.

SapphireSeptember · 26/03/2020 10:10

I have no hot cross buns, Sad but I have hot cross bun flavour tea, it is divine!

JKScot4 · 26/03/2020 10:10

Have you tried cinnamon & raisin bagels toasted? very nice 🙂

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 26/03/2020 10:11

Bought by mistake some Belgian chocolate hot X buns the other day.

A travesty!

Dh is happy to 🐷 the lot, though.

Dagnabit · 26/03/2020 10:33

YABVU - it should be salted butter. Tsk...

fuckinghellthisshit · 26/03/2020 10:34

Oh FFS now you've upset all of us. At these times of national crisis you need to suck it up and not share the misery
