I made 2 attempts to get a drink on saturday, but the queue didn't seem to be moving, so I gave up, so as not to miss the start of the second half.
Why can't they employ a person with basic English skills to walk up and down the aisles with pre-cooked burger, Hot Dogs, fries, like they do in the USA? You can really doubt their foreign policy and bombing innocent civilians but I can overlook all that when you get a Hot dog bought to your seat.
My days of frequenting Greggs ended when they stopped selling pastrami sandwiches. I actually emailed the company to complain about this decision, and they wrote to me inviting me to attend a 'customer think-tank' at an office in Whetstone. It was £30 per hour for two hours and it was great fun, or so my brother-in-law informed me as we split the £60. I now use Grouts (only based in Essex, methinks), and their grub is far superior to the multi-nationals. There is a bakers in the small village of Fenstanton, Cambridgeshire, and they make the most beautiful cakes known to man. SVC may know it.
I never go to Greggs but I have the utmost respect for their business model. I am afraid they have a Northern style about them which puts me off and more so when that Paddy Whatsisface so called comedian and phone sex pest does the adverts. Every parade had a bakers when I was growing up and a tea shop with nice ladies in pink aprons serving pasties and bacon rolls, there was a fantastic bakers in Blackheath, my sports teacher used to take us football on the common and then buy 10 of the tastiest bacon roles (and a cheese one for Cohen) but that got closed down in the 80's and the teacher got arrested for touching up Cohen but again it was all so English and twee. Now its all Bhagis and polish sausage,
I presume you mean Barkers of 21 High Street Fenstanton a well recommended establishment just off the A14 and serving far superior bread and cakes to anything that can be found at the nearby Cambridge "Services". I have to say that Days of Ashwell are closer to home, living as I do close to the Hertfordshire border and near Royston where they have a small outlet. It is a good bakery and has possibly something of a civilising effect on the " Royston men in the far South are black and fierce and strange of mouth" to quote Brooke.
Yep, that is the one, SVC. A really decent bun is to found in Barkers. Next time I plan a trip to the caves at Royston, I shall factor in a bit of time for a visit to Days.
Funny you say lucozade, after Mac D's I'll frequent a WH Smiths for a raspberry one. Or 2, depending on the severity of the pain.
