Quick!, start building the bunker and stockpiling the tomato soup...
Greggs profits are down by 8.3%.
GREGGS.
Now, if folk are too strapped to go to Greggs, then this truly is the worst recession in the history of the universe and we are all dammned.
DAMMNED for all eternity.

I’m just away doon the toon for a steakbake, 2 sausage rolls, a cheese & onion pastie and a tuna crunch xtra bite before it’s too late.
God I wish it was December so I could stock up on mince pies.

Don’t forget a cheese savoury big softie and Devon doughnut while you’re there.
Imagine a world without Greggs? Would negate the entire purpose of existence.

I miss sausage rolls etc.
Starbucks are closing lots of shops here but they are rip off bastards anyway.
Buy a fern cake for me.

Fiona – are you actually me?
Nearly everything you’ve said in the past day has been exactly like me!
My favourites from Greggs are the cheese savoury softie and the devon donut.
Was in there the other day for first time in ages (getting said donut…) and I noticed the price of the softie. £1.65!
Used tae be £1.35 last time I bought one.
God. I’m fucking starving noo and aw I can think aboot is Greggs.
How can they be losing money, anyhow? Everytime I go past a Greggs, it’s got a big fuck-off queue going doon the street.

This is exactly what I thought too. I got told we were all supposed to invest in companies that make cheap food, because that is what we will all be buying in the future Campbell’s soup, etc.
Maybe its the rise of the packed lunch made for 11p of ASDA products.
As soon as I get home. I’ll be boosting Gregg’s sales figures. You know, they don’t sell Steak Bakes in Florida?

Steve had a steakbake once and it had a bit of TONGUE in it – I don’t mean that lunch-tongue meat you get, I mean an actual, knobbly bit of tongue. Horrifying!

God, that’s fucking disgusting. I know whit ye mean tho. Like when ye buy a cheap sausage and theres a wee bit in it that feels like biting an elastic band.
Fucking minging.

Thanks. Thanks for ruining one of the things I was looking forward to when I get back. The other thing was having sex – no stories please.

Fuck it, am away doon Easter Road for a softie…

I didn’t realise I lived so close to a Greggs. That is bad news for my diet.
March 11, 2009 at 12:30 pm
Gauny get us a turnover while you’re there. Ta.

Greggs sales are way up, but because of the price of ingredients, profits are down… there’s still hope.

Fuckin hold the phone, don’t shut Greggs, I was there yesterday, 2 sausage rolls for a quid, aye that’s the stuff.
Greggs are great but I remember when you had City Bakery and you could get the best Ginger sponge with white icing, now that’s a tasty cake!
March 15, 2009 at 11:14 am
Awww City Bakery….
That ginger cake is absolutely gorgeous.
The non-iced variety could also be seen swimming with custard at school dinners.
Them were the days.

Sponge cake and custard, bring it on

Does anyone remember when you used to get milk and it was in a wee square carton wi drawings of sports on the side in blue and green ink:
Hockey, football, netball etc
and ye had a wee straight thin blue straw, none of this flexi-straw pish.
That’s another school dinner memory.
March 15, 2009 at 1:55 pm
Aye the milk thing, I remember at school you used to get milk, Iron Maggie stopped all that though, fuckin bitch!
March 15, 2009 at 3:36 pm
Maggie Thatcher, milk snatcher.
Aye, but whit I’m on aboot is the cartons. The pictures on them. Folk playing hockey and that.

I feel its my duty to reply here…
despite your unprovoked attack on McG’s.
God GAVE you McG’s…………..
say sorry.
PS loving yer work

Thanks Darth! Maybe the steak bake incident was just down to a failure at Gregg’s quality control dept. Although I’m convinced their sausage rolls are filled with recycled hospital waste (minced up wound dressings, amputated limbs, placentas etc.)

I know someone who had a whole eyelid in their Greggs pie. A WHOLE EYELID! COMPLETE WITH EYELASHES! He spat it out and then ate the rest of the pie. Nice.

That was Doug wasn’t it. Was it? It was, wasn’t it?
Aye, I bet it was Doug. I know how little regard he has for what he puts in his stomach.
