My Grandfather owned the butchers next door to the original Greggs bakery on Gosforth high street and used to supply them with the meat for their sausage rolls
You know what would be marvelous? If Gregg's got fully on board with the concept, had one of those maps in each shop (with their branch highlighted), and even had a Speed Challenge (visiting all branches by Public Transport/on foot in the shortest time) - once you have an officially-recognised best time, the maps could be updated to include a number a la London Underground Labyrinth Pictures (there would, of course, be no requirement to purchase a Steak Bake at each branch).
Brilliant content , mate! At work, I'd challenge my colleagues to name all of the Greggs in N'cl city centre. This has all of the answers (there's more than you'd think)!
I went to the UK for the first time in September to visit a friend of mine in Birmingham. Of course I had to try some British foods. We also went to Wales on my last full day there, so when it was time to eat we decided to make a stop on the side of the motorway when we saw a Greggs sign. They were closed. To this day I have yet to try it.
@@edificity In the last few months, the reductions have become much less. For instance, it used to be possible to get three packs of scones for £1.5 but now it's strictly 85p each. Cost of living crisis I suppose.
You're right, I should have mentioned. I use Adobe Illustrator, but I've also used Affinity Designer for the same kind of projects which is also very good (and only a one-off cost)

Thanks for saying hi! Sorry I was so startled I'm not used to fame

I would be so up for that
Most definitely
That is certainly more useful than Teesside Airport Station!

I love how there are three in the MetroCentre, as if to power you from one end of the place to the other.

Sorry you missed out!
The Arthur's Hill outlet is worth the occasional visit if you are addicted to both Greggs and discounts.
Can confirm both of those things

King Street in South Shields used to have three branches, two of them just two doors apart.
Sounds about right :D
Great. Would love a print out for our wall! Do you have any plans to make this available?
Oh I wish I had one of them like!
honestly this is epic now we can easily find a greggs
Interesting, thanks 👍👍
I agree
I'd love a print of this! I saw an Arthur's Hill branch (I guess this is on West Road? Is the two ball lonnan one on there too?
Actually, just watched again and clocked the other line, excellent work! Definitely want a print of this to go on our wall.
@@customfreak81 I'm looking into doing prints :)
the welbeck road one is also an outlet
Oh, bloody hell, you're right. Serves me right to trust the Greggs website I suppose - I'll update it!
Would be interested in the Greggs map if it were available on Displate as a metal print.....
Nice
Your stations markers are interesting (the black line-and-point). Did you come up with that on your own, or did that come from somewhere else?
I nicked the idea from the Manchester Metrolink route map
@@edificity Cool, thanks! Very neat.
¿What program do you use, i don´t have an idea of what it could be?
You're right, I should have mentioned. I use Adobe Illustrator, but I've also used Affinity Designer for the same kind of projects which is also very good (and only a one-off cost)
@@edificity thanks
If you don’t have these, PowerPoint is really quite capable
Some of Greggs shops were Thurstons. How did that come about?
I think it acquired Thurstons back in the 70s, and wikipedia says they were then all brought under the Greggs brand in the 90s
Excellent 😂
Where can i get one lol
Im in Hebburn
Just wondering is your into the old doors closing sound of the metro?
It is! The sound of my childhood
Is it possible yo download
Very Tasty
