The rest of the week it's doughnuts or somesuch, retail price 60p (took a sneak look inside), apart from Saturday where it's free cuppa coffee, £1.20.
(I'm repping for no reason really, there's no Greggs around here anyway)

There is here. It sells flat flaky soggy tasteless crap. Much like the DE.

Greggs is the worst. It's the fast food equiv. of... the Daily Express.

In East London it's all about Percy Ingle, the only chain bakery with a grime mixtape named after it.

Still only halfway through eating my bag of sugar here. Slow down with the free food already.

The actual sandwiches seem alright, the couple times I've had one.

the pies vary in goodness and clearly it ain't health food but for a chain bakers they're pretty good. they're no Wright's Pies but tragically we don't have them up here

I was sure we had a Greggs poll but I couldn't find it.
found this though: GINSTERS POLL
The Greggs steak bake pretty much served as 90% of my diet at university.The Ginsters slice are actually edible cold, but then again I like my Greggs bakes, if not cold, then at least slightly congealed.I really deserve to die of a heart attack before the time I'm 40, huh?― Dom Passantino, Tuesday, 26 February 2008 12:54 Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink

I went into Greggs once to buy a sausage roll, mid-afternoon. I took what I thought was the tasty processed meat snack back to my office and opened the bag, to find about £800 in cash. The cashier who served me must have given me the bag containing some portion of the cashing up. Being a decent citizen, I took the money back. They gave me a free sausage roll as my reward.

― WHO THE FUCK READS THE (a hoy hoy), Wednesday, 18 May 2011 11:42 (fifteen years ago)
I weighed it up, but thought that the cashier would probably have gotten the sack or at least a carpetting. I definitely should have demanded free sausage rolls for life though.
― Neil S, Wednesday, 18 May 2011 11:45 (fifteen years ago)
I really like Greggs, purely because 60p for a hot sausage roll that you can eat as soon as you pay for it seems pretty reasonable to me.

Our local Greggs has to deal with competition from a West Cornwall Pasty along the street.

if they're one of those 3 quid a pop 'gourmet' joints then that ain't much competition

Nah, their buns are very poor. Too much icing and the 'bread' bit is too dry.

Tory MP Stewart Jackson said: “The data reflects the consequences of Labour’s ‘open-door’ immigration policy.
That wouldn't be the Tory MP Stewart Jackson who claimed for getting his pool cleaned on expenses and is married to Sarah O’Grady, a journalist for a national newspaper? Surely not the same Sarah O'Grady who wrote this piece of shit article?
