| If the marge manufacturers were honest, their products would an industrial grey, not that fake-yellow. |

I tend to avoid marge with a barge(pole) ... it is horrid stuff full of additives and goodness only knows what. |

Mp3 is all very well but this article today shows that vinyl is making a strong showing. So the non-Greggs-eating Traveling Wilburys were onto something with that recent single of the two versions of "Handle With Care" in a limited edition of just 2500 copies. Valuable.

Greggs is barking mad in Skipton, according to this which:
"if you want a buttered roll with your soup they do not butter rolls till 2.o clock i was there at 10 to 2 and was asked if i would like to return in 10 minutes."

| Some people who have marge on everything else still insist on butter for baked potatoes. |

"The Hatter was the first to break the silence. 'What day of the month is it?' he said, turning to Alice: he had taken his watch out of his pocket, and was looking at it uneasily, shaking it it every now and then, and holding it to his ear.
Alice considered a little, and then said, 'The fourth.'
'Two days wrong!' sighed the Hatter. 'I told you butter wouldn't suit the works!' he added, looking angrily at the March Hare.
'It was the BEST butter,' the March Hare meekly replied.
'Yes, but some crumbs must have got in as well,' the Hatter grumbled.: 'you shouldn't have put it with the bread-knife.'
'Well, whose idea was it to get Greggs to do the outside catering?' said Alice."

| In Grints (I think its called) in Cranbourne Street, you can get buttered toast but only in the morning. I believe I saw it priced at 80p. Disgraceful, more expensive than the tea in Greggs. Do Greggs do buttered toast with their tea, and if so, is it restricted to mornings only? I think we should be told. |

80p for toast in Cranbourne Street? Daylight robbery! Worse than Blair and Bush and Gates!
Grints won't be able to get away with that, it will have to cut its prices when a treacle well opens in London Road. |

For home baking, home cooking in general, I`ll either use Butter, Ghee, or a specific oil, (sunflower, olive or sesame).
Potatoes or carrotsget a flavour enhancement from a very small amount of butter, it`s economically sounder than marge here.
Crumpets - lightly smear butter onto a warm griddle pan or frying pan, and heat the crumpets on this, it spreads the buttery taste without using loads of butter/marge after grilling or toasting them to just have it all dribble down your face and clothes! |

| Butter aways for me, better than those low fat axle grease spreads they sell now. |

| When the mood takes her, Mrs Poppadum is all for making toast on a fork over an open fire, and she is right to say that, made this way, it tastes best of all. |

I used to make toast in front of an electric fire. It made it go all stripey!!
The butter for the toast, by the way, IMHO, should be really cold and hard, I slice it and put it on the toast and tis all lovely and cold and the toast is all lovely and hot and the butter melts mmmmmm.
Drat I want toast and butter now, and I'm at work. No intention of going up Cranbourne Street to buy their toast and butter at such inflated proices though. |

At the end of that article there is a list of places where better quality buns etc. can be obtained. None on the list in Brighton. Maybe one of the many Brighton establishments will offer real fire toasting. |

I am shocked LTNS! Are you now admitting that Greggs alone was not enough to elevate London Road above the attractions offered by the, allegedly, cloned appearance of Churchill Square? |

Truly LTNS ... I never thought I'd see the day you backtrack on Greggs. This now throws into doubt all the certainties of life. Where will it all end? Will the sun stop rising in the mornings and will Shrubby get the Nobel Peace Prize? |
