      Yes, Greggs, purveyors of lard, are doing valentines day at some of their shops.

      If you’re a bit skint it’s only £15 for the couple. That includes prosecco.

      I think it’s hilarious, how many people are going to get themselves into trouble with this? Link.

        Lol. Love a pasty, but pastry hates me.

          Marvellous. We don’t normally bother with Valentines Day but this might change our minds.

            There don’t appear to be many stores participating, none near me or Bristol, but it is an interesting marketing idea.

              I love a Greggs – especially the Sausage Rolls – bettered only by Morrisons Lincolnshire ones.

                Yes they’re good BL, but in Louth there is a Curtis bakery, a Lincoln company, which makes the best sausage rolls. Ever. Anywhere. And I am a sozzie roll gourmet. All their stuff is really good, I don’t get my baked goods from anywhere else. Best cheese scones and straws I ever tasted, made with just a hint of mustard that doesn’t taste as if it’s there, but adds something to the flavour. I am physically unable to pass the place without buying something, the aroma drags me in. All fresh-baked on premises, any leftovers go to local homeless. Seriously considering putting my old gardening gear on and lying in a shop doorway….

                My Gert stopped making cheese scones after we moved here, couldn’t stand the competition. ??

                When the Thought Police arrive at your door, think -
                I'm out.

                  Told my wife about this and thought it a great idea.

                  She also said it would make a good party convo to back up how cheap i am. I replied with, we will do the pound bakery next year.
