LTNS is donating the royalties from his new disc to Feeding America, a charity for the hungry, and to similar international organisations.
Will the hungry find that pasties are on the menu this Christmas? And washed down with Tetley's tea?

| LTNS is keeping quiet about Pret A Manger considerably undercutting Greggs by selling coffee at 99p - and it's fairtrade, organic. |

They are not on London Road
No threat to London Road Greggs. |

There is a Pret conveniently close to Greggs on Western Road!
Perhaps a Pret is what is needed to boost the hard-pressed London Road. Its 99p coffee gives people a far better deal than the Greggs brew. |

Pret will not keep that Price

And the Only shops that can Open, in general , during this
New Labour Depression are Supermarkets

| It seems to me that every evening somebody stands in front of LTNS with a watch and says, "soon you will fall into a deep sleep", and then, during that trance, intones the words, "you will miss no opportunity to praise Greggs' products to the skies!" |

Nobody could hope for a Marilyn effect by using a Greggs item. It would be soggy and drag the flesh towards the waist in no time. |

A lack of folic acid is dangerous in pregnancy. Spina bifida etc.
But why take supplements when it occurs properly in such things as spinach and cabbage and kiwi fruit?
Needless to say, pasties are not a good source of it at all. More shame on Greggs.

Is this the cause of an ad for a hypnotist called Julie James on the main page?
Here is a piece about more and more people quitting Facebook.

Ian Hunter of Mott Hoople is not a one to eat pasties. He says in the Guardian: "You can't have stuff like English breakfasts. Old habits die hard if you're a frontman: you just don't want to go all fat and horrible. I'm a 32 waist, to this day. Then, I'd have been about a 28, 29."
All the young dudes don't carry pasties. |

No this is the UK
Nothing like even more Depressed USA.
Greggs are doing very well as they are.
I can well imagine a terrifying film called The Pasty on the Fifteenth Floor. |

And now I see that the Greggs thread has attracted an advertisement for colon cleansing! They have judged their market very well.

I do not think the colon cleansers have judged their market well. It looks to me as if posters here are anti-pasty - except one, of course. Still, every customer counts. |

The pasty thrown from the fifteenth floor could be the answer to all the London Road's problems. Much more effective than hoping Greggs will regenerate the idea. The crater would remove many of the area's objectionable features, and it could become a pioneering eco site, with all manner of wild plants growing in it. The crater, with a suitable trail down one side could even solve the problem of the travellers' site. |

Ads are done by a Autimated Google Program
You will learn Nothing from it.
Meanwhile Greggs is still selling
Value and Quality.
A British company doing well
in this New Labour Depression. |

If everybody clicks on the tea bag ad, does that bring this site a measure of prosperity? Pasties all round! |

Strange. So why does anybody let Google put these ads on its site? not even a free pasty voucher in it... |

And this firm is advertising on the site, this topic. It includes a deal on Tetley teabags which it says works out at just over 1p per cup. Which is at least 86p cheaper than Greggs (allowing for milk and boiling water).
Still do not understand why the Forum should want to provide space for Google to advertise and pocket loot from these firms.
