I eat healthily but have to confess to the occasional weakness for a Greggs pastie. What are your views on Greggs?

I found out this morning that a shoe shop in my town which closed down is soon to re-open as a Greggs. Yay!!!

Well, a pastie will be cheaper than a pair of shoes.

The shoe shop is no loss - they didn't go up to my size :-(

Yes - their steak bakes are nice.

imo, they exist as an affirmation of the right of even the best among us to succumb to occasional moral turpitude and scarf the odd pasty, a steak slice at a push..

..the rest of the stuff they sell is pretty carp

I have tried one sausage roll but didn't like the bright pink colour of the 'sausage'. One bite and in the bin.
I tried a pastie and found the filling too sloppy and gloopy but I ate that. I haven't bought anything from there since.

used to like their bridies, but gone off them.

The student alba likes their steak bakes.

Ordered a birthday cake years ago for the young alba, it was yummy.

I think they're a great company, built on good old-fashoned family values. I like the vegetable pastie or the cheese and onion. Their bacon roll and fresh coffee isn't bad either!

The Carp stuff, catering for Eastern European tastes? I believe Carp is considered a delicacy there.

Sandy, yes. I have some Polish friends who have carp for Christmas dinner each year.

The sausage rolls look grim if you open them up - pink gloop - but they still taste good
