What is wrong with loose tea? It is far more flavoursome.

No sooner had I cracked page one of the mega thread and saved it, I find that it is all now immortalised as a sticky (an state in which much of Greggs's produce exists).

Here is the second post, mine, made soon after LTNS set it all off.

We missed the first anniversary...

Perhaps we are a bunch of cheapskates here in Portslade, but a fiver buys you a vacuum flask - and infinte tea for next to nothing.

Congratulations on the new Greggs thread. Is it the 1st Anniversary of the old one ? Amazing how it has become part of the forum community. Will we be reading about 'new Greggs thread' in the Argus ?



Thought the Greggs topic had been going for a year or so.

Happy Birthday !

Perhaps this thread should be subtitled Part Two so that others know what is going on?

I mean it might not be clear to newcomers that this thread is a continuation of the mega thread. To call it Part Two, or something, might make that clear.

I have asked them to Edit the title of the original thread:
New Greggs London Road (Original Thread).

As for Newcomers?
you are having a laugh.

I see that this thread is now ll, Hollywood-style. We might yet see Greggs - First Blood.

Newcomers? Bit by bit. Guess there are a lot of competing sites on the Web, and limited time. Big papers do not always get many people commenting.

I see that Greggs has a lacklustre entry on wikipedia. And there is no reference to this site in the notes. It is in urgent need of revision.

Wiki can be edited. Can't one of of our more erudite members come up with something?

BTW - I don't like loose tea cause I haven't got a tea pot. Well I have but I keep Mim's spare car keys in it because she can't be trusted not to lose the original set

Even with big national neewspaper forums in my experience, there are actually only a few members, the rest being sock puppets; whereas here (I hope) we are all who we say we are. I don't know about anyone else, but it keeps me busying just being myself.

Well, it looks as if Greggs wikipedia entry could bring along a number of other people.

Here is an entertaining discussion of Greggs training sessions when new members of staff join a branch.

It is all saltier - like the pastry - than LTNS would have us believe of London Road, Brighton, which he always depicts as a model of good behaviour.

If Tetley is Northern why is there a factory in Greenford?
