Little do Greggs know ; the power of Mumsnet.

Ya see, I don't think so! I reckon there are loads of MNers who say on a thread 'oh no, I don't let my children eat Greggs', but really they do!

Bad weather?
More likely those dodgy TV ads.

I would say their dire advertising campaign might have something to do with it.

lol great minds

Yes those dodgy ads take some beating...but I lurve their chicken and mango sarnie.

I like their sandwiches (and chocolate muffins ) but genuinely wouldn't give ds a sausage roll to munch on.

They are lovely!!! You don't know what you're missing! Its something you've just gotta try in your life!

Whats wrong with those scrummy sausage rolls mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

There used to be a pie-shop in salisbury that sold cheese-and-onion-and-potato pies, and curry slices. Greggs don't.

I miss them...

The whole Gregs thing has always gone straight over my head - I live in a part of the country (apparently the only part of teh country) where there is no Greggs. I will never be able to pass judgement on the quality of their sausage rolls and feel robbed, frankly.

Aw, Hassled! That's sad! You won't know about their Steak Bakes either then? They're mighty fine too!

me too hassled.

Hassled there's no Greggs around here either

I do lurve a good sausage roll though

And chicken bakes....mmmm....chicken bakes....

yes quite, Malory.

I have bought some green ones instead.

Good to know I'm not alone - but if I ever see a Greggs I will be in there eating sausage rolls before you can say "cholesterol" .

has anyone read the comments at the bottom of the article?

this one made me chuckle,

No wonder...they should call em grease rolls instead of sausage rolls! Not a healthy thing inside the shop. I'm fussy about what I put in my cakey hole! I'd rather eat dog turd, it least it maight have some vitamins in it.

and this is a gem,

Their profits are down because their shop assistants stand with one finger picking their nose and another scratching their ass before they serve you.

Could just eat a steak bake mmmmmm

I used to feel like you, Hassled. I had no clue what all this Gregg's stuff on MN was about. But over the summer I went to Perth in Scotland, a town I know well, and there in the High St was a new shop called Gregg's. 'What's this, then?' I said to myself, going over for a gander. 'Ah, it's got cakes and bread in, must be a baker's, that's nice.' Then &~#~OMG~#~& Baker's!!!! Gregg's!!!!! I bet it's a sausage roll shop!!! At last!!! I can hold my head up high on MN!!! I too have seen a Gregg's! But they didn't seem to actually have any sausage rolls. Maybe they'd sold out over lunch.

Oh, who cares about vitamins! Greggs is loverly!!!!

I think the sausage rolls are soggy and horrible actually. I do love the treacle scones though - can you tell I have a sweet tooth lol!

I love the ringed chocolate donughts from greggs... hmm... droooooooooooooool...
