Crackheads!
Out of their skulls, obviously.
It would explain a lot of LTNS's posts, too. |

Here is news of a new Greggs opening at Glasgow Airport.
Apparently, as well as its "traditional" items, there will be "inspirational" sandwiches.
What are these? Could "inspirational" be the corporate euphemism for the crack pasties?
Let's hope the pilots keep off them.

What sort of pasties are those that cannot take the heat? Perhaps they are just used to being micowaved.
Never let it be said that Greggs does not have its customers' best interests at heart. Any customer who ODs on a crack pasty is entitled to a 10% discount on a cold turkey baguette (conditions apply). |

From the Brunswick topic:

I am startled to find that Councilor Elgood is encouraging residents to dress and undress a good-looking woman. She has no say in the matter. She is anybody's. I know these are modern times, but is this the sort of thing one expects from an elected Councillor? Feminists might be disgruntled.
If one goes to his Brunswick Blog, scrolls down and votes on his communal bins survey, up pops something called "Take Zwinky shopping" and there is an almost naked woman with various clothes scattered around her. Those with time to spare can put these on her and take them off.
Although this hardly compares with the real thing, it is I suppose a more worthwhile use of time than trying to fathom the Brunswick councillors' opinions and "policies".

Unlike Glasgow Airport (as illustrated above) not a pasty in sight. |

As with so many things in life, the Greggs crack pasty came about by accident.
In order to meet its disability quota, Greggs hired a deaf - hearing-impaired - Sandwich Development Assistant and during a "brainstorming" session in Newcastle, somebody said, "let's try to do something with cracked pasties", meaning not throw them away (what with that causing such environmental controversy). The new Assistant, who is in tune with Newcastle's nightlife (which perhaps caused his hearing problem), heard this as "crack pasties", and so a new sales ploy came into being.
At this rate, other companies might worry about losing "market share", and Coca-Cola is already considering putting the cocaine back in its cola and calling it a "retro" drink.

Looks as if Greggs prices will be going up again. Perhaps they will try and spread this by hiking up the price of tea and sugary cold drinks?
It is a very gim lookout for the London Road, Brighton. Its hopes of a Golden Age have been dashed, and the world will not be flocking to see this glory of civilization after all.

| Also, the last time I passed Greggs in Western Road (yesterday), there was an ad in the window - something about "the romance of Greggs pasties". Was I dreaming, did I misread,am I deluded? (probably)- Can anyone please confirm? |

How can Greggs claim their their products are romantic? Do they expect loving couple to sit at a bus stop and nibble away at a shared pasty?
No, Greggs are more like a card in a newsagent's window or in a phone box than romance.
Mrs Poppadum and I are off to New York. No Greggs there!

New York? Isn't that in America? So doesn't it contain those people whom LTNS holds in low regard? American of large girth who do not wash...

Is that the all-devouring romance which Greggs is currently promoting?
At this rate, Greggs will be regularly cited as co-respondent in the divorce courts, and detectives will testify, "I caught Ms X in bed at the Metropole with several pasties and bag of donuts to boot, all being washed down by cola after cola. It was a squalid orgy, the like of which I have rarely seen during a long career". |
