Good working class bait is Greggs. Standard fayre for toddler in his/her pushchair, Greggs Sausage Roll, stuffed in their mouth. The next generation of gourmet foodies in the making.

Spot on, pasty flakes all over the bairn in the push chair.

Greggs are often pit stops on my usual bike rides.

I must admit that I have noticed the number of those working class types that also use it.

Wasn't aware they had that much coverage in your neck of the woods.

Now more than 2,000 branches, or rather locations, in the UK.

The UK will soon disappear under a layer of pastry flakes and/or empty Metformin containers

Though I'd seen one in Stornoway but maybe I imagined it as I cannot find it on their branch locator...

Branch numbers have declined by about 100 from 2022 to 2023.

I reckon with a chain that big, there will always be comings and goings as leases expire.

The overall aim still looks to be expansion.

Pound Bakery not good enough for you posh lot obviously.

There's a drive in one opening soon near Celine Towers.

Good to see they have inclusive policies, catering for everyone including the morbidly obese and bone idle.

How far is it from your house?

 

[Mr Celine]

How far is it from your house?

About 1.5 miles, the same distance as the existing branch.

Steak bake will be cold by the time I walk back, reckon I'll just take the car.

They probably do delivery via Just Eat, the do in NE England.

Greggs is lush. I loved it when they trolled everyone by reversing their sign on Northumberland street so it would display the right way round in folks' pictures of Fenwicks Christmas window display.

I'll have to part company with you there.

But that is amusing.

I had one of their vegan sausage rolls earlier this year, cos everyone had been raving about them.

Filled up, but underwhelmed, just about covers it.
