It's where all the lip, nostril and udder finishes up.

I don't actually understand that ****ter page - none of the posts seems to bear any relation to any other, it just seems to be an endless procession of rather illiterate gobbings-off. Or is it just me?

it's Gregg's responses to people tweeting at them about the logo thing - so you only see their half of the exchange.

blatant greggism.. not all of us bake or eat pies.. ( though i have consumed my fair share.. and the wifes.. and probably the kids ironically never knowingly from a pie factory named after me..)

Bit cruel that, some truth in it though. You could say that about all fast food shops, except chippies.

The Telegraph has 4 paragraphs on the glitch/hack/whatever and 10 paragraphs of churnalism on number of outlets, company history and new products.

Win for Greggs.

Looks like the logo was first put up 4 years ago but just changed recently:

Ooo, possibly libellous / defamatory content being re-published. Could get expensive!

According to that Telegraph article their range "includes a great number of products below 400 calories and are called 'Balanced Choice'." - What's that, a pie in each hand?

Indeed it has, but ads678's Greggs used to be a Thurston's.

It's called a napkin, or facewipe to the regulars.

Wlaking past a branch and someone was ordering a Sausage, Bean and Cheese something or other.

Probably very nice as a one off dirty snack, but for breakfast, lunch and tea?

Yuk

Jamaican patty and a coronation chicken baguette from wenzel's for lunch today.
As I now boycott my local gregge as they no longer have the hot racks turned on in order to avoid the pasty tax .

Which means unless you are lucky enough to get there when they are removing them from the oven all pies, pasty, slices and sausage rolls are served stone cold.

So if a pie from gregge does not get your juices flowing imagine one stone cold.

I'm no regular, but I've not noticed this. I did notice they now have an "eat in" price on everything, I presumed that was their tax dodge?

My nan almost married the founder of Greggs just after they opened the first shop. In a parallel universe I'm on my way to being the boss of the Greggs empire, sitting atop my throne of fairly disappointing pasties 😥

*shakes fist at heaven* 🙂

I am sure it is what this branch has decide to do as it is in not a very affluent part of town.
I was talking to the guy who runs the Chinese last year. He said due to all the rain the price of produce had gone up and he was barely staying afloat.
I said well put your prices up.
He laughed , and said around here, people won't have that if I put my prices up people will just stop ordering.

Around here being the young (teenage) single mum living off the state capital of the world.
So I am all la di da with my wenzel's .

Hmm I used to like the mixed cheese brown softbites they stopped doing 🙂

Did think they'd handled what was a nothing thing well and gave all the papers/news sites something to cut and paste from twitter so thats them happy.
