They do,
but any worker can also have their own. |

Oh ... so it is a case of ... 'Wow! Look at that funky mousemat you've got! ... You know what, it really makes me fancy a pastie!' |

I do not have a clue,
it may just show a brand name.
But each desk near my office
have Multi Colors on their mousemats.
It is important for each worker to have their own
space.

There has been some confusion. Such is language in our times. It turns out that, in this case, a mousemat is something which Greggs staff will be asked to put out in various parts of the stores each evening to catch the mouse droppings. This will save time the next morning in sweeping them up. The result of a - er - time and motion study.
Exactly how the mice will oblige in using these mats is a bit of a mystery but doubtless management meetings, with Powerpoint presentations, have elucidated it - and customers will be grateful to find that staff are no longer scratching around at their feet with the dustpan and brush which is so bad for the Greggs corporate image. |

Greggs pasty romance means that by clicking here you can get an online voucher for a free cheese and onion pasty.
Will the LTNS printer be working through the night?
The page has what sounds like an extract for a commercial for the thing.

I see that LTNS is providing us with a sample of his taste in art.
In fact, it's a misnomer, the free Greggs pasty. It is a voucher for buy one, get one free (a BOGOF). So it is not a free pasty but a half-price pasty. Typical Greggs...
Still that site offers a game in which one meet the challenge of putting things on a Greggs shelf. |

Since when was the job centre, or public toilet full of tramps known as 'your office'?
Pull the other one! |

| FYI - Never, EVER, under any circumstances, type "office tramps" in Google Image Search at work while looking for an amusing LTNS-baiting photo. |

Although Take Me High (1973) does not rank high in cinematic history, it has particular interest for Greggs adherents.
This Cliff Richard film is a favourite of Sir Michael Darrington's. He has watched it closely many times while taking Greggs across the nation. It is about a bank manager who helps am ailing restaurant become the talk of the Midlands, something which it achieves by means of a Brumburger.
It is only for fear of offending Newcastle residents that Sir Michael has not added a Brumburger to Greggs' shelves. He is not yet sure whether the economies of scale would be sufficient to confine it to Birmingham outlets. |

Did LTNS realise what he was unleashing upon the world back in those dim, distant days when Greggs tea was a mere 70p? |

"I am not the mayor of Brumberg and I have never eaten a Greggs pasty nor do I have anything to do with office tramps. Thank you."

What graffiti can these Scotsmen have written on the side of Greggs?
"Jock is a gristly pasty"?
"Kilroy was here - until he ate a tuna baguette"? |
