| Life must now be Paradise on Earth for LTNS with news that there is a revoluion in ketchup-bottle design. A special surface has been devised so that ketchup slides down the inside and does not get stuck at the bottom. No longer will LTNS need to bang the glass or scrape around inside with a long knife to get his money's worth. |

Bang the glass?
Is that a euphemism? |

So this is how you prevent the last drop of ketchup from sticking to the bottom.
Empty it all at once.
The glass splinters could be a bit tricky! |

I gather that there have also recently been squeezable plastic bottles but perhaps these do not solve the problem, and there is also a design which means that the bottle stands on its top (if you see what I mean). But in each case there is the problem of the ketchup sticking to the inside.
And so not being Good Value. Even when bought in London Road, Brighton.
Much better to make tomato sauce oneself?
Apparently HP sauce is currently i nshort supply. |

And yet didn't they say that farming out the production of it there would be more efficient? Usual story. And I believe that afficiandos of the goo do not regard the Dutch water as providing the right tang that it had when made in England.
So it is False Economy, like London Road, Brighton. |

Experts in thsi vexed culinary issue tell me that thsi has been tried but there remains the question of ketchup lurking in the middle.
Emergent Chinese industry is, however, hoping to crack it in another way if the new shiny inside does not succeed. |

| LT has no problem getting the last bits of sauce out. He simply grips the shaft firmly and shakes it until every last drop has spilled forth. |

Here is a Greggs Sausage Roll Appreciation Site - several pages - but the comments are brief, although providing such insights as the fact that its pasties are regarded by one woman as "total sex" and the firm is stingy with freebies for those who work there (perhaps that is a bonus for the staff).

If Greggs had been serious about their romance of ther pasty campaign, they would have taken up Milla Jovovich's offer to be "the face of Greggs" instead of that Paddy bloke.
If customers has their names put in a hat to share a pasty with Milla, the queues would have stretched along every sidewalk. |

I hear they are making a film, Romancing the Pastie.
Where will it end?
A tribute band to Gregg/Rolling Stones?
The Rolling Sausages?
Album: Pastie on Main Street?
One hit single from the album, the rest just filling tracks? |

Has Greggs yet figured in a film?
It could be a symbol of a nadir in fortunes, similar to the moment when a detective gets home late, opens the fridge and inside there is only a packet of gone-off milk.
"God, I'm hungry, this stake-out's taking ages - why won't he give himself?"
"There's only a Greggs round here, several of them. Shall I get you a pasty?"
"Get a boxful - we'll throw them at the window - he won't know what's hit him!"
"Might prejudice us when it gets to court. Cruel and unnatural punishment, and all that." |

That would be with Greggs' Flora Light rather than Brando's notorious butter.

That is off topic and should be :

The Third Pasty.
This is a a tale of love and teachery amidst the carving up of the London Road, Brighton between four baking powers. The crux of the plot is adulterated yeast, with very nasty effects.
Unfortunately, "Gotta Get to Greggs" is not as memorable music as the zither. |

I am sure that everybody will commiserate with LTNS over news of his unfortunate experience after the recent purchase of a packet of prunes. The moral of this is, of course: London Road, Brighton - False Econmy.
In this delicate state, he would be well advised not to ingest any Greggs products for some while. |
