I know, they've always been a Newcastle based business but whether it's them themselves, (it is) plus others happy to jump on board they're now going down the Guinness/Irish business advertising route. Put it another way, would anyone have automatically linked Greggs to 'Geordie-ness' a decade or two ago? I just find it a bit false tbh and all apart from that, if that photo is legit then that lad must surely be one of those fans you cringe seeing in the media. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've not long had an official union there which tells you everything you need to know about them considering their longevity as a business. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 37041 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Da yoof wearing the Gregg’s clothing (was it in connection with Primark) was what they might call totes cringe. I do like a stottie though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London 62 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 There was a Greggs champagne bar in Fenwicks over Christmas. How much more geordie do you want? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 36850 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) They do good scones and their stotties are decent. (I don't bother with the sweet stuff so can't say anything on those). The vegan sausage rolls are ok too. The normal sausage rolls are atrocious and the pasties etc are edible I suppose if you don't mind it repeating on you for a few hours afterwards.

Ayatollah Hermione 14745 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Greggs are so proud of being from Newcastle that they’ve promptly dropped everything on the menu that could be considered from up here. That’s before you mention their “social media game” which is just Paddy Power but somehow even more annoying 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Toon army are glorious in black and white, A battle ahead, a glorious fight. Arnold Slot, with a tactical mind, Stood on the touchline, arms aligned. But oh! The sun—so cruel, so bold— Bounced off his head like liquid gold. It struck Mo Salah, curled and proud, A flickering ember within the crowd. With panic set and fear in sight, His hair ignited, a beacon bright! He reached for water, his fate to mend, From a Geordie lad, who is not a friend. But alas, the bottle—oh, what a shine! Purest poison—Newcastle moonshine! The flames roared up, a crimson crown, As Salah staggered, stumbling down. Alisson, eager to lend a hand, Flapped at the flames with shovel hands grand. Yet each great gust, each mighty blow, Fanned the inferno to heights unknown! Trent dashed forth, extinguisher drawn, But oh! A black label — a rule was torn. The wrong device! The ref turned red, A flashing card, and Trent had fled. Salah, singed, was swiftly switched, As Slot, enraged, stood sorely twitched. Without Salah surely it was time, For the toon to win and be divine, Alas two Darwin goals, the fucking cunt, Aided by VAR, a fucking affront. And so it was, on that cursed day, That Salah burned, yet the scouse still held sway. And worse still due to Carragher’s raves, 10 fans drowned in his saliva waves. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
