    That made me smile, I'm sure the ECJ's right to be forgotten will apply.

    No idea why they have picked on Greggs, they are ok.

    I like Greggs but can't help laughing at Viz's Profanisaurus definition of "Greggs dummy" - "A chicken and mushroom filled pacifier used by teenage mums to soothe their teething infants".

    They should have a new logo for curry's and PC world:

    "Selling crap to utter morons who don't even know what a HDMI cable is, leave alone what the price should be" or just change their sign to "MUGS-R-U"

    Looks like something similar has happened to PC World! http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/pc-world-google-gaffe-this-is-what-happens-when-you-try-to-search-for-the-computer-superstore-online-9168895.html?origin=internalSearch

    Greggs is absolutely huge in the UK.

    I cant stand their products if I'm honest. Never understood the fascination with them. Even watched that Greggs documentary last year - still none the wiser.

    Their food tastes nice to the majority of people and they're probably the most known bakery company in the UK (aside from the larger supermarkets). I think that might be it.

    Gregg's are great when you fancy a pasty or a cream bun but don't want to pay a lot.

    Also their cheese savoury and bacon torpedo roll is lovely.

    There is a lot of snobbery when it comes to Gregg's yet when I worked in London they were always queueing out of the door and around the corner at the Gregg's on Goodge Street.

    Google often brings up naughty results.

    The other day, if you googled Skellow (the town in Yorkshire) it showed a picture of a man holding up a towel...with his hard-on. http://t.co/eVTXFtRA6x (NSFW)

    In Basingstoke, sausage rolls at 99p each. In Stoke-on-Trent, they're 2 for £1. So I use them a lot when up in Staffordshire, but less often down south.

    Have you ever considered that these things are subjective, and that your personnel preferences are not the benchmark for everyone else's?

    They're a very highly respected and British name which means service to hungry shoppers, workers and passers by.

    I think I've been to the local one twice in the 5 years I've been here. Their food is ok but nothing I'd stand in a queue for more than a minute.

    Greggs were much better back in the day when they were just a North East bakery. You hardly ever saw them south of Leeds.

    In their NE outlets you can still get the classic Ham and Pease Pudding Stottie, one of the finest sandwiches ever made.

    I know that. They do bloody good Cornish pasties, even if they are about 700 calories each. I just wanted to start off the 'fake ignorance' bandwagon to be honest.
