Those cheapskates, with defective tastebuds, at Greggs use Flora light in their rolls.
Perhaps Sir Michael Darrington stocks up the Bentley's fridge with tubs of it when taking the motor for a tour of France so that he does not have to enjoy unsalted butter? |

Page 2 on the Argus today talks about Snob type Tea Rooms
and how a group of folks (on the website Facebook)
said the Southover Street Tea Rooms is
'Run by a Fascist.'
As a result many more have joined that debate
on the facebook site. |

Mrs Poppadum has returned from Shoreham with extraordinary news.
It turns out that the bakers called Truffles sells tea for just 60p.
The shop's bread is far superior to anything in Greggs.
The shop has several branches in Sussex, including Hove and Lancing.
Why hasn't LTNS alerted us to this great value option? |

and Of course this thread is also about London Road , Brighton.
Why do you not start a thread up

The heat has got to LTNS.
The thread is also about tea and good value. If Truffles can provide superior tea for four-fiths the price of the Greggs brew, then Greggs, with its buying power, is charging far more than it need do.
The hapless people who toil along the London Road are being stung by Greggs who have no intention of regenerating the London Road but only (UHT)milking it for all it's worth.
Hoorah for Truffles! |

| It cannot be doing as well as all that or it would have attracted the magnificent Truffles to start a shop there. Poor old London Road is lumbered with Greggs. |

LTNS now dismisses Truffles with a sneer despite admitting earlier that he has not visited this shop which gives customers a considerable saving on the price of tea.
There is also a branch in Hove, so he could stop off on his way to or from Aldi and then he would be in a better position to speak.
Apparently Brian May's belatedly completed thesis about astronomy has come up with a startling insight. The centre of the Universe is London Road, Brighton. That might sound outlandish but a moment's thought reveals that a lot of gases are produced there by LTNS, and one must shudder to imagine the lifeforms int which these will evolve. Especially if they somehow feed upon Greggs' products. |

I wanted to stop off at Greggs the other day to get a pasty to sustain myself for the long arduous trip to Crawley, but Mim wouldn't let me. She said she would not have such a disgusting object in her hew mode of transport |

Is there a Greggs in Crawley?
Perhaps the thought of that would have been a spur for the journey? |
