Return of the Drag: 2011 (part two)

Bullying should be stamped out in pasty purchasing

Broken Britain

 

[machine cat]

Just been to Greggs for a sandwich and was forced to buy a pasty so I could pay by card

This is by no means a bad thing.

What pasty?

 

[neonwilderness]

Yeah, yeah, yeah Pasty Boy........what type btw?

What pasty?

Corned beef, the only half decent one Greggs do now

did you order any side dishes?

 

[neonwilderness]

Who forced you?
Is this the first time you have been forced to buy a pasty?
What pasty?

who are these bullies who force you to buy pasties ?

The Whickham Pasty Pushers. They are infamous, I should have known better really

 

[neonwilderness]

did you order any side dishes?

A tuna baguette

nowt wrong with the cheese and onion.

 

[marty21]

A tuna baguette

A tuna baguette

Tbf a pasty is proper British man's food whereas a baguette is rather....continental! So the pasty bullies were doing you a favour basically.

Butter or mayonnaise?

Butter or mayonnaise?

I doubt neon had a choice.

They used to be much better. Although tbf corned beef pasties were always much better from Bakers Oven until Greggs bought them

 

[neonwilderness]

Butter or mayonnaise?

Tuna mayonnaise with red onion, cucumber and lettuce. There may have been butter cheap margarine on the bread, but I didn't notice.

I'd love a pasty right now. My nearest Greggs is 2.1 miles away. Pffft.

I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that: M&S sandwiches aren't that nice. They trade on former glories, imho.

Is there a Greggs in Brixton?

I agree with you on that - prefer Boots or Tescos myself. Sainsbury's can be okay. Mind you during our recent staycation Mr. QofG's and I had an All Day Breakfast Sandwich (plus smokey bacon crisps and orange juice as part of their meal deal) from the Co-op which was lush!

They are definitely well within 'ok' territory, apart from the Wensleydale cheese and carrot chutney one which is very nice.

I used to work in the Bakers Oven in Skipton. I made the scones, cooked the bread (and pasties) and made sandwiches. I also ate a lot of what I cooked as well

In order:

1. Co-Op
2. Tesco
3. Boots
4. Sainsbury's
5. M&S

I'd also like to mention that butties from Pret are gross - Crayfish ffs!

I agree, the wensleydale one is lush.
But home made can be so much nicer and fresher.

I didn't share my lunch with the budgie, it was a turkey sarnie and it just didn't seem right.

The best corned beef pasty locally is from "Barry's Bakery" and is basically a block of corned beef with a bit of pastry round it

[sojourner]

poems with rules are a bit odd imo, apart from limericks

Ooo I dunno, I quite enjoy the discipline of having to stick to a certain structure tbh. Discovered I had a talent for haiku that way

googles 'sestina'
fucking hell indeed

Innit?!! Balls to that. Gave me a fucking migraine just thinking about it.

Done a 'diamante' poem instead. About breasts

"Are you ok crying lady?, by the way, that dress looks fucking great "

I think this approach could work

I do too
