That is not what you said though LTNS ... you claimed that the arrival of Tesco and Aldi would help the area and the local traders. You even went so far as to indicate that it would improve the open market! |

Two cups of Greggs coffee is the price of a baby in Germany these days.
BERLIN -- Authorities in southern Germany said Saturday they have taken custody of a 7-month-old boy after his parents posted an ad on eBay offering to sell him for one euro, the equivalent of $1.57.
Peter Hieber, a spokesman for police in the Bavarian town of Krumbach, said the baby was placed in the care of youth services in the southwestern Allgaeu region, although the child's 23-year-old mother insisted the ad was only a joke.
Authorities have launched an investigation into possible child trafficking against the baby's mother and 24-year-old father, neither of whom was identified.
''Offering my nearly new baby for sale, as it has gotten too loud. It is a male baby, nearly 28 inches (70 cm) long and can be used either in a baby carrier or a stroller,'' police quoted the ad as reading.
No offers were made for the child in the two hours and 30 minutes the ad was posted on Tuesday. EBay later deleted the posting, but assisted police in tracking down the parents. |

I await the day that the anti-SPAM code spells GREGGS.
What are the odds of this? |

Commiserations to LTNS at this sad time with the death of Yves Saint-Laurent.
Will LTNS be holding a public memorial with the regulars at Greggs, :London Road, Brighton? |

Forfars on Western Road now calls itself Forfars Fresh.
Does this mean the other branches are stale? |

Maybe it is a Tax change.
One thing I notice with the Old Forfars
is the Dust.
Go into any Greggs
wide open spaces - NO Dust.

How curmudgeonly of LTNS not to accord Yves Saint-Laurent's memory some respect - especially as there will be the official announcement soon that, although reclusive in later years, the designer anonymously reworked the staff uniforms |

There are reports that Obama has clinched the Democrats nomination and that Hillary Clinton has offered to be running mate.
What effect will this have upon that other subject of international concern, the state of Greggs the Baker in London Road, Brighton?
So far as I know, neither candidate has mentioned the subject. Onbiously so hot a topic (unlike the pasties) they they dare not risk saying the wrong thing, and have kept quiet. |

Yes, it's a Northern stronghold for Gregs.
where people value the food and their late night opening.

| The old multi-page Greggs topic has gone. History slides from sight. Makes me reluctant to chip in any more. |
