    It’s a sad fact that people who’ve spent their life eating cheap crap that tastes like re-cycled garbage and think they’re getting a flavoursome treat because they don’t know any better, always make the assumption that more expensive food won’t taste any different.

    The phrase “sad little bunnies” was invented just to describe them.

    What if you can’t stretch to Dorset-sourced organic Lamb for lunch?

    Greggs is lunch. Unless you regularly fine dine every lunchtime why take umbrage at the place?

    Yep, Alain Ducasse or Greggs…they’re your options!

    🙄 You’re a cretin aren’t you?

    You can get a Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference sandwich, fruit (or crisps) and a drink for £3.

    Despite the protestations of so many fat **** out there you don’t have to subside on the worst food known to man unless you want to spend millions.

    Not that the Sainsbury’s offering is likely more healthy, but IMO they taste vastly nicer!

    I’m sorry you lost me there with that argument. I don’t eat crisps from anywhere. I also don’t eat the sandwiches that any supermarket turns out. Boots being by far the worse.

    Greggs don’t do a bad job. It also attracts people who don’t look healthy and big purely because it attracts ALOT of people from offices and for some reason people tend to focus on the overweight who shop there. Go look at a queue tomorrow lunchtime, see how big people are on a whole shopping there.

    The only crisps-related product I will occassionally eat is fish and chips from West Yorkshire. :mrgreen:

    To be fair, I haven’t actually eaten any of Gregg’s “food” products either hot or cold.

    Tell you what, I’ll buy one of their “meat pies” on Saturday, in the interests of fair play, and tell you what I think. 8)

    Well last week I bought a choc muffin from there before I went into cafe Nero’s (I was desperate for caffeine). Far better than Cafe Nero’s.

    Also their slices are ok- as long as its occassional and its better than a big Mac.

    This is assuming you have a Café Nero, Boots, Sainsburys anywhere near your workplace.

    Plus, why the hell are you not all in the gym at lunchtime on the spin bike ?

    We’ve got a café, a restaurant and a Starbucks at the office… I’ve used it 3 times this year.

    My missus works at a place that has a full restaurant onsite. All the 20something girls are there every morning get a full breakie or bacon buttie. Don’t they realise that when they hit 30 they will be in full fire-fighting mode for the rest of their life.

    I’d kill to be able to walk down to a full breakie every morning- at woolworths head office I did just that :mrgreen:

    More than patronizing view of those with less of an education. Is one of your staff getting the Occado delivery unloaded, or is it Fortnum and Mason week?

    I refer the hon gent to my previous comment.

    I wouldn’t trust my staff to unload a bag of chips for me, the fat bastard.

    Greggs? In the North East, those who know, know that Cliff’s is the only place for a pie

    Nah, I just think he’s a cretin! I’m losing track of the number of posts I read, which lead to an eyebrow raising, and a “WTF” expression sneaking onto my face, only to find they’re written by our very own Mark Horacek! Bless him!

    But no, no falling out don’t worry, marital bliss continues!

    Pimlets Pies, I’m reliably informed (although that’s the North West), vend the pies of the gods.

    Three pages and no mention of the innovative yet under appreciated Sausage Bean and Cheese slice?

    Food of the gods!

    Err no, of course not? What right minded teenager or 20 something ever worried about what they ate? Certainly not me!

    I would just like to add that I generally do eat healthily had a recent cholestral level of 4.3 and am the fittest 53 yr old I know. However, I like cakes and biscuits…oh and chocolate too, so the odd trip to Greggs is just that!

    I would never trust any man who wasn’t partial to the odd steak bake. It’d be like trusting a man who, when left in a room with a tea cosy, doesn’t put it on his head. Just plain wrong!

    Rockape reread what you wrote. 30yr old and teenagers have over a decade between them. I remember loads of cute girls that when they hit late 20’s started going ropey fast.

    Google image queue at greggs. Are they all biffers then? Or are angry vegetarians and daily mail readers scared of the place with their sweeping generalisations?

    I think that’s a fair point.

    See that picture of NuLab outside Greggs – The 2 at the back are looking sheepish but Balls is definitely looking for his next hit

    and, is that a teacosy on his head too ?

    (sorry, I don’t join in the political threads much – both points have probably been made once or twice before)
