Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted November 15, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted November 15, 2021 18 hours ago, Tommy! said: Quite No, I read Sayers was owned by Warburtons and Sayers owned poundbakery. Didn't know that had changed. You corrected that and I made a light hearted omission of my error. I wasn't expecting a fucking audit on the history of the highstreet bakery businesses of Britain about it. Greggs was founded by Sir John Gregg in 1896 when he found sticking a sausage in some uncooked pastry made a tasty snack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a couple of Sayers I pass on my travels became Pound Bakery I assumed it had been taken over. Boy did I hit the head on the nail. Presumably a Gregg's opened in their vicinity and they're going into competition mode. I think that's how it used to work. If there's a Gregg's nearby they're Pound Bakery. If not they're a Sayer's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got his fair share in the 80s. He also went out with Sylvia Kristel. All behind his wifes back, I believe.

"Steak tartare was not invented by Mongol warriors who tenderized meat under their saddles." Right, cheers for that. Nothing on the list about sideways fannies, so can only assume that's true.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
