Late breaking announcement / more accurate than those on BBC 24:

Greggs is in negotiation to open a City Academy that will feature courses from NVQ Level to PhD in the techniques of dunking. The stumbling block seems to be recognition all across the EU of these qualifications and the course exemptions graduates can expect at foreign institutes of learning dunking.

No news updates about the sausage roll syllabus. Last heard that commentators talking about it being a bit flakey.

Of course, an upmarket dunker is the narrator of Proust's novel. But that's a herbal tea. And he is unique in dunking and being inspired to write a 3000-page novel.

A cup of Typhoo and a couple of ginger nuts have yet to inspire Mrs Poppadum's tawdry confessions.

Probably the most thrilling prospect London Road has ever faced. Oh and sausage rolls as well, never mind the flood in M&S at the station .... London Road's cup will runneth over for sure.

Maybe the best way, according to the master is ... start in the middle and work your way to the ends

Yes, that is the LTNS approach to pasty-eating - he keeps it in his mouth like a harmonica. It is quite a skill not to let any precious bits fall on the ground.

After the news of a new Aldi in London Road, wait for an increase in brown sauce sales in the area.

Somerfield sell that.

All Stores will have to keep a close eye on Aldi,
if they want to stay in business.

How one sided. Where is the Arsenal, West Ham, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Brentford, Dagenham & Redbridge cake (probably missed one or two) ?

Snob? For refusing to taint brown sauce with sausage roll? ... so be it.

It is just possible that this topic has been infiltrated by sausage roll purists. The trick is to get them to define what is a pure sausage roll.

LTNS has still not explained why the Sainsbury sausage roll is not a sausage roll.

HP is a must
No cheap imitations
I have to agree with LT on this

You Smug Git,
you need to check HP Brown Sauce,
And keep your Un-Educated Comments away from this thread.

1. No Artificial Colors
2. No Artificial Preservatives
3. No Artificial Flavours
4. Low in Fat
5. Even Suitable for Vegetarians.

There is no mention of HP in LTNS's original assertion. Naturally, anybody would have thought he had got a cheaper one from Lidl.

But the point about the combination of ingredients still stands. It is too sharp.

Yes it is just the same with tomato sauce - all the difference between something made at home and something from a bottle or plastic squeezy thing.

Who supplies Greggs brown sauce?

Is it possible to get round the back of Greggs anywhere and get hold of the things they throw out? That is what freegans do.

Greggs is certainly a better diet than the can of worms which Arghiros appears to be living on.

That is because HP is sold in every Shop.
It is Common Sense for a British person
to know that.

Couldn't get any in the Co-op nor in Lidl ... Asda had a couple of the huge bottles but that was it.

Is Brown Sauce so important in the life of our country, recognised with an annual day of recognition ?
Is it on the National Curriculum or that test for Citizenship ?
