Ooh, I could right go a steak bake and a chocolate cream doughnut now.

Tomorrow's lunch sorted then Grin

Anybody else old enough to remember when eating in the street was a disgusting thing to do? Only exception - fish and chips on the sea front?

No?

Just me then.

Hobbles off on zimmer...

My Mum and Dad still think eating in the street is appalling Hecate. Grin

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 15/01/2012 18:13

Get it intya Cynthia.' Grin I second that.

NettoHoHoHo, oooooh, what a good idea! My nearest Greggs is a bus ride away, but tomorrow lunchtime I am SO there. I might go chicken bake, but oh fuck yes to the chocolate cream doughnut.

JustHecate · 15/01/2012 18:23

your mum and dad?

LadyClariceCannockMonty Please take a knife and fork with you. If plates are not supplied, ask for a napkin - better than nothing.

RuleBritannia · 15/01/2012 18:24

JustHecate I'm well up there with your mother and father.

GoingForGoalWeight · 15/01/2012 18:26

Hecate my parents too. Ice cream on beach, not even fish and chips.

In our town there are two Greggs within walking distance so the classy way to eat is to buy a sausage roll in one and walk round the corner as you are eating it and by the time you get to the other shop you are ready to buy a custard slice.

Now I defy anyone to say that that isn't classier than walking round with a sausage roll in one hand and a vanilla slice in the other. Grin

[Disclaimer: I happen to have a great fondness for Greggs]

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 15/01/2012 18:35

RuleBritannia, duly noted.

More Beta, I like your style. Walking to the other shop not only makes you classier, it also makes you build up an appetite so, if you can't decide between a vanilla slice or a doughnut, you can just have both!

Having Gregs is a bit like labour. You don't really want anyone to see you at it, but accept it's innevitable, you always underestimate just how messy it's going to be - you drop your pride when you take that first bite, scoff with sheer delight, then pick your pride back up on your way past the litter bin.

But fanfuckingtastic!

Craving a steak bake now. :)

I wasn't allowed to eat in the street and my mother once took the dc to McDonalds - long time ago - and asked the lady at the counter where the knives and forks were Grin.

Actually - I once sent DS to an away match at Eton with a Greggs sausage roll and sandwich because we got up late and didn't have time for breakfast. That was classy. Eton's LCD sign on the front of their school bus isn't classy but bet they might all be drinking a capri sun on the way in Grin
