Couldn't get through to it that way, and cannot find out which page it's on for another go when the mood strikes me. A shame as Greggs l was quite a blogging highpoint, a life of its own.
LTNS's finest hour -or, rather, hours. National newspapers would be envious.
I think, in memory, I'll go and listen to The Traveling Wilburys. |

Such a long time since I have seen a 80p cup of tea.
The typos (cat included) have gone off with the Arabian blend and the clouds obscure the moon.
I can no longer see the panel that controls and I have run out of poppudums!

Poor old LTNS must be dismayed to read the news of the further decline of London Road, Brighton: the prospect of pasties galore has proved no bulwark against the onset of shoplifters, drunks and drug addicts. According to this article, the Council is not much policing the area in order to "contain" the reprobates there and so keep them from other, smarter neighbourhoods. Certainly it is a very feeble comment by a Council "spokesperson" at the end of the piece.

| If they can keep up the numbers of anti-social incidents and minor crimes then they will have a good excuse to 'regenerate' the area with all that that will entail! What Greggs couldn't do, the council will muck up as well ... mark my words! |

| That article can't be right. That will mean that LT was wrong. |

| A top level summit meeting? Good grief ... in that case, I'd evacuate the whole of London Road immediately, there is no hope for it anymore ... put your head between your knees and ... you know the rest! |

Well here we go, lets see if we cannot figure out what they'll come up with ...
Deployment of a special Task Force! Increasing the number of CSPOs! More CCTV! Enforcing the 'Public Drinking Prohibition'! |

Here is more on the "high level summit" meeting about the terrible state of the London Road. But as there is in fact no mention of the catering arrangements for it, we can only assume that it is doomed to failure. It is well known that a Chief Inspector of Police cannot function without his pasties to hand. He is as dependent upon them as any denizen of London Road is upon his "stash".

I notice that the summit is held to "create a masterplan to drive drug addicts and vagrants from a shopping area." Assuming we are not talking about taxi vouchers and further assuming that we are not talking about sweeping them 'under the carpet' ... any ideas where they will turn up next?
It is time we realised that drug addicts, vagrants, drunks and thieves are not something the 'cat dragged in' that we can wrap up nicely and put in the wheelie bin. It is going to need more then merely moving the problem/s on! |

Yes, whenever the Council claims to be at work on a "masterplan", you know that it is all doomed to come to nothing.
Why can't it be content with a plan that gets put into action? |

| Perhaps the plan to drive the low life from London Road is linked with the Fast Public Tranport plan. Roger French to the rescue once more. He will drive the Druggie Bus along the special bus lanes to the county line and leave them all in Lewes. |

Here is a woman in Blackheath who confeses to an strange, unshakeable addiction to Greggs vegetable pasties and says that "every time I go in there, I can feel myself slipping down into a world of misery."
A classic sentence.
Does Greggs put something in the pasties to get these involuntary repeat customers?
At any rate, Blackheath is more pleasant than the London Road.

I see that the Greggs tea which, not so long ago, LTNS touted as a bargain at 70p has now leapt to 85p
Greggs will soon rival Zimbabwe for inflation (perhaps African pasties are better, though) |

Newcomers might be interested by this link, which is where the original Greggs topic began, and from that you can go through dozens of pages of it and be diverted by innumerable links - and encounter many a comment by LTNS who posited Greggs as The Spirit of the Age and even found room for the Traveling Wilburys.
