Yes, I cannot see how to make the link work but I have given the gist of it in the posting.
I think that Sir Michael Darrington is looking to pass on the cost of the "protein" to the customers. |

Is this is? GREGGS plc AUTUMN TRADING UPDATE because if that is indeed it then there is no maybe about it quote:
Our robust
performance to date encourages us to believe that current and anticipated cost increases
will be recoverable from the market place
Will we see the price increase of a cuppat'anapasty? Indubitably!
I wonder how that bodes for the regeneration of London Road? |

Yes, that is Sir Michael's document. That way is a pdf. I was trying to provide an HTML link.
So, there we have it: Greggs is passing the buck to the customers but perhaps this time they will refuse to pay the extra. There is only so much they can take of that. Greggs will have nothing with which to regenerate the London Road, Brighton. Especially as they are now sending the staff for judo lessons to fend off the thieves who have been scared away from Crawley. |

She ain't Fat she is Sexy and Strong.

Burn't? Burn't? You poor fellow, just as you start to actually use apostrophes in the correct place you introduce the word burn't to the English language. Have some more pasty's... |

I have been watching Michael Caine in the Newcastle-set Get Carter.
The behaviour of these people is certainly no advert for a Greggs diet. |

It should also be burnt off her - not burnt off of her.
Look out for the next LTNS edit! |

Glad to hear it ... wonder what the effect, if any, on Forfars is though  |

Outside Truffles it says:
"where eveything just tastes better".
Greggs cannot claim that. |

Greggs does not have the variety and quality of bread which lifts Truffles far higher in the bakery stratosphere.
Truffles is a firm which brings distinction to Sussex. |

Those rats are one thing but Dustin Draper in Muncie, Indiana has set an alarming precedent for Greggs customers in the London Road, Brighton by taking a parcel of baby rattlesnakes on a bus after collecting them from a post office.
He is now in jail for what he regards as this “cool” hobby of buying, feeding and selling these reptiles without having a permit to do so.
Apparently postal staff had told the police about the parcel, and they were waiting for him when he got off the bus at home. He could, of course, have got off en route to buy a pasty, and if the container had come adrift there could have been a nasty accident. The police would have looked foolish for not apprehending him earlier. Or on the bus if the rattlesnakes had got a whiff of gristly pasty and forced their way from the box to satisfy their hunger after the journey.

Will LTNS maintain his anti-Christmas stance by not taking advantage of Greggs' offer of any coffee and a mince pie for £1.10?
Indeed, how can LTNS go into Greggs until the New Year if it is making so much of Christmas? |

Mrs Poppadum points out that this piece explains why people in the London Road would have fewer digestive problems - and live longer - if went go to Truffles instead of Greggs. The London Road, Brighton is a killer, breadwise.
And it is so easy to make good bread at home.
The stuff sold by Greggs and supermarkets is full of nasties - a Chorleywood menace.

Bacon is now the Killer.
It is a Never Ending list.
Meanwhile Greggs London Road was Wide Open
for the Classic London Car Run Today.
With the Best Value
Quality Tea, of course. |

So a bacon sandwich, with bread from Greggs, is a double whammy in the death stakes. |

You need to take a Look at That pathetic American McD
on London Road.
They have Bacon with every item you want.
They are doing the worse Damage in the UK.
As for Greggs
they have bacon on a few items
just like that Dusty Old FoFars.
Double Whammy FACTS |

Wow ... I didn't know that McDonalds is forcing people to eat bacon? |

| LTNS has not written about the ingredients in, and texture of the Greggs bread. |

Today's lesson is from The Gospel According to Matthew, Chapter Seven:
"But stait is the gait, and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life."
And yet there are some among you who will proclaim unto others that Greggs has a Wide Door onto the London Road, Brighton. And so, unto those I say, with Mattthew:
"broad is the way that leadeth to destruction".
And, moreover, if transgressing into that place, which leadeth unto death, think also of the Lord's words:
"Is there any man among you which if hi son asked him bread, would offer him a stone? Or if he asked fish, would he proffer him a serpent?"
Sadly, I say, the answer is yes when that father avails himself of bread or tuna from Greggs.
Now go forth from this site and warn the people that Greggs is the Devil's Work. Amen. |
