Hehe, thanks very much, Wolf. She just started that site and the accompanying shop proprly the other day and it's going well so far. Free lean pockets as a promo idea for her? Stranger things have happened.
I saw Bill 'Sea Of Souls' Patterson wandering around the courtyard at the V&A last week, if that counts as 'schmoozing'. You could tell he was a thesp - his every gesture and expression was exaggerated to the nth degree. Life's a performance, darling, life's a performance.
I still can't believe the look of bewilderment I faced from the Gregg's staff in Nottingham when I asked where the glace cherry was on their Belgian Buns.
While we're on the subject of Greggs, I'd like to smack McGuinness for the way he says "proper coffee" in the ads. If only because it gives my southern Mrs easy ammunition.
Plus they've changed the recipe for the Cheese and Ham slices. Useless.
Having just eaten a Gregg's cheese and onion pasty, I would like to add that what they are filled with resembles not so much snot, as virulent syphilitic discharge.
Grrrrreggs more like, those places really boil my piss, I've never known a baker's stink so bad. A childhood saunter past a "Sparks" or a "Carricks" was an olfactory oasis amongst the stink of the butcher's or the fishmonger, even today the foreign likes of a "Peter's Cathedral Baker's" or "Cooplands" can give brief respite but that Geordie noseworm just plain honks.
