They used to triple line the bags, even then you lost at least
one to the pavement. 'Em were the days :x


When I was just a lad in my first job, I had to go to City Bakeries at the Ca'doro for the rolls on mince for the guys. I then had to run like feck across Gordon Street and into the Central Station before the arse fell out the bags.

My Geordie pal tell me that they are held in the same regard down there as the Plague was/is in London.
A chicken pastie down there is affectionately known as Mackem Pacifer because they are usually seen stuck to the mouths of bairns of singular parentage from a town south of the river.

I forgot to say, the shop on Buchannan Street has a notice that I have never seen in any other shop, it states that their staff have been trained in Disabled Fairness or awareness something or other.

This to me makes me think that perhaps there has been an "incident" in the past to which all staff now have to go through some kind of formal diversity training, so that the company is covered just in case another to do occurs in the future.

Bex, is that the Groggs at St. Enoch.

I think there is a ramp up to it for disabled entry.

Sorry, no, it's the one up next to that shop for they folk that like tae dress up in Star Trek outfits and buy Buffy figurines.

Um no havin a go before yous start.

I'm a big Al Pacino fan and I did see in the window a Scarface figurine.
Aye, that'll be right get a grip, I liked Jaws and I even had a plastic shark when I was wee but I grew out of that toys buiness.

btw. I'm sure when I was wee I got forced tae drink something for worms that your name sounds like. Pripcin or something.

Anybody else get worms or even has them and get/are forced to drink a raspberry flavoured medicine? who can confirm it name?

Yes, it's used by vets prior to the baking process. Remember
Greggs always takes consumer health requirments into
consideration as quoted.

'We will deliver customer satisfaction by offering great tasting food at unbeatable value and to the highest standards of food safety'

Hence, you won't have any worms after digesting a wholesome
steak bake.

Maybe not preventative against heart disease, but, y'know, worms are a far more worrying affliction! :roll:

You could say, they are in cahoots with subversive NHS directives.

How come when you want a chicken pasty, macaroni cheese pie, quiche they don’t have any hot ones

Food poisoning issues? There's this shop in Stirling that
would go as far as reheating last weeks pies 8O

Try Aulds, do they still not reheat?

Christ Man, the reading of your dietary intake makes my bowels quiver.

Bits of mashed up lawn cuttings, stuff from greggs, you'll be lucky if you see your next Rivercity episode.
