.... a little insider info. Greggs kitchens are just as disgusting as McD's & Unlucky Fried Kittens....but I must admit to a passion for their Lemon Muffins.... yum... You know a food inspector? Jack did that job once, and it became quite difficult to know where to eat where he wasn't known. Presumably each branch has a different manager so standards will be different? I had a cup of hot chocolate in the Hastings one yesterday, and am still alive to tell the tale. |

When in Hastings I'd go to the Greasy Spoon Café that used to be just up from the old Sainsbury's/Co-op/ESK Warehouse on Cambridge Road. I noticed last time I was there 5/6 years back that that was no longer there either.  Lovely bacon sandwiches though. Of course, you know you've all had your minds altered now by the special suppressants that they put in Greggs stuff, it's why the Government has encouraged theirs and Subways and KFC's expansion in the country! It's their latest way of getting the drugs into the system to keep the population in control! There! You read it here first! |

No - I have it on very good authority that the drugs come across the counter at the kebab shop opposite the cinema.

Did you know that KFC is called KFC and not Kentucky Fried Chicken because European Trading Standards Laws won't allow them to use the word 'chicken' to describe what they serve? I read that somewhere really reliable on the internet.
(SWL, question for ya - is Housey that coincidental, or that clever? Which do you guess?)

I read that somewhere really reliable on the internet. Yep, I knew that. Something to do with the minimum amount of the stuff actually being chicken if I recall  |

(My favourite writer (Gene Wolfe) was on the team that designed the machine that makes Pringles. Yay!) (Do you know that if you leave a tooth overnight in a glass of coke when you look in the morning the coke will be flat and the tooth will be sitting at the bottom of the glass?) |

Did you know that Irn Bru really is made in Scotland from girders?
(Actually, nobody knows how Irn Bru is made. The recipe is a closely guarded secret. You'd think that in this day and age of trading standards that wouldn't be allowed.)

I may be changing my mind about Greggs. Today in Carlisle I saw two bairns in buggies eating sausage rolls from Greggs whilst their chav mothers blethered. I don't know how old the kids were, I'm no good at telling kids ages - they were about 2' long or so. Surely that's far too young to be eating the fatty, greasy food from Greggs?

Those kids were probably under three. That's bad. You should have wagged your finger at those mothers. That would have told them. Or flared your nostrils and looked down your nose at them. That's what I usually do. |

Not all Greggs food is fatty and greasy.
As I've said repeatedly, the tuna crunch on brown is quite healthy (I think.)

i think the thing about KFC not being able to refer to their product as 'kentucky fried chicken' is an urban myth and not actually true. i also think it might have been me who started the rumour....  |

Our favourite chippy in the mid nineties was one on the same side as Iceland but closer to the underpass. Can't remember it's name, bet it's changed hands now - but they used to do a fabulous plaice that wasn't swamped in breadcrumbs. I feel old when I remember that I can remember Hastings before it was pedestrianised! |

Lovely bacon sandwiches though.
