Not a 'fresh apple turnover'? With all that refined sugar paste?

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.



The Apple Turnover posted by LTNS reveals that the London Road, Brighton branch of Greggs is indeed Satan's Playground.

Yes, here is the Devil's Work.

It is the modern-day Eve and Adam. She is tempting him with an Apple Turnover mixture.

Just look at the way in which she is letting her right breast edge towards the mixture...

She is playing upon his basic instincts. Shameless. He does not have a cheesy grin - it is more of a cheese-and-oniony grin as he thinks of all the pasties she has promised that will also come his way after he has done the deed.

All this disgraceful behaviour, in the bright light of day, on the London Road, Brighton - it makes West Street and the strip-clubs on East Street look like a nunnery.

How can Sir Michael Darrington hold his head up in polite society, assuming that there is any on Tyneside?

So, instead of marking the huge pile of mid-term exams on my desk, I am fannying about with photoshop making this. I think the pressure is getting to me.



I could have put a badger in the bowl, but there is just something about that cat ...

Here is news that Wrights Pies are looking to expand beyond the north-west into the West Midlands.

Their pies are regarded as superior to Greggs', and so perhaps it will not be long before they cast their eye upon the London Road, Brighton, oust Greggs and really set about regenerating the neighbourhood.

An excellent example shown by Wrights.

Is there a particular age at which babies or infants can safely (relatively speaking) be given food from Greggs?

This is perhaps something Health Vistors need to establish.

Yes ... the carefully considered professional opinion is that it should not be attempted before the child has reached the tender age of 69*.

*years that is

It is clear from the evidence supplied - with true public spirit - by borninhove that Greggs' pasties are an object of sheer terror to infants.

We can only hope that the authorities are aware of this. Any mother who feeds a child with Greggs' products should now realise that the child could be taken into care.

Perhaps leaflets to thsi effect could be given out in maternity wards.

Mrs Poppadum has heard that the Council might be getting Greggs to run the tea room in Hove Museum.

The current outfit is called Delicious and it is quiting to expand food inside Brighton Museum.

Looks as if Hove is really going downmarket now.

Here is alarming news about milk in Pennsylvania.

Is the London Road, Brighton safe? Why deesn't Greggs use organic milk so that customers are not in any doubt?

Are you saying that Greggs customers are riffraff without any discernment? As uncaring as to what goes into their bodies as they are unconcerned with effect on their physic of what they consume?

What price the planet?

Here is a piece which says that there should be less meat-eating.

So cut back on those pasties, assuming there's meat in them, and the London Road, Brighton will be far more pleasant.

I wasn't aware that it took longer to drink a cup of tea with organic milk then a cup of tea with non-organic milk? Could you please point me to the research that led to this interesting FACT?

"Over priced" product is a bargain if it preserves existence - one's own and that of the planet.

LTNS appears, pasty in hand, to be hell bent on a "consumer"-driven march to the abyss. Sponsored by Tetley's.

Yes, "unavailable for comment" is a stock phrase in the Argus. Why doesn't it ask what is keeping a housing associatoin so occupied that it cannot make a comment? Itr sounds as if Hyde has problems with time management if there is nobody able to fit in a comment.

Hyde Housing Group.

Hyde’s initial modest ambition was to acquire just two houses per year, rehabilitating and converting them into flats. Today Hyde owns or manages over 36,000 properties but it also does much more then simply provide housing. It is now an agent for social change, improving people’s quality of life by creating sustainable, inclusive, thriving communities – places that people are proud to call home.

And if the people don't, the rats will be only too pleased

Is Greggs running a big scam?

As we alll know, the price of bread has been going up because there is also demand for wheat as the basis of fuel.

But, to judge by the baguettes, any of the Greggs wheat used as car fuel would only make the vehicles backfire, the engines clang, and the bodywork shudder - any progress along the road would be very much of a lurching sort, an object of ridicule. Even worse than putting in two-stroke or diesel by mistake.
