Subways taking over Brighton

[Set of Tracksuits]

Far, far better are Greggs bakers up north... There's one in virtually every street in Nottingham City Centre. Large filled baguettes (Chicken and Bacon, Tuna, Etc.) for around £1.45... Pasties, about 90p, Doughnuts 40p, French Bread Pizzas 60p, etc. Also, a bottle of water for something like 45p, compared to £1 - 1.50 in Brighton. A bit like forfars/piece of cake etc. except much nicer food and literally half the price. Open a franchise in Brighton and you'll rake it in.

Greggs ham and cheese pasties are the bollocks, only about 55p up here in the desolate wasteland of the north-west.

Cheap and very cheerful.

Not usually into these off topic threads but whilst there's no news on Falmer I need to keep myself occupied.

Greggs are bloody everywhere - can't believe Brighton has not got any.

Greggs plc is the UK's leading retailer specialising in sandwiches, savouries and other bakery products, with a particular focus on takeaway food and catering. We continue to show significant growth and now have over 1,200 retail outlets, trading primarily under the Greggs and Bakers Oven brands (We only had one shop in 1962).

I should believe it. The closest one is, apparently:

13, Queens Rd, Hastings, East Sussex TN34 1QY

Nobody's ever called Churchill Square 'Churchill Mall'.

Nobody's ever called The Palace Pier 'Brighton Pier'

Apart from maybe the incoming web designers that clog up the trains and put the property prices out of reach of local people

I for one don't mind. think they are jolly good without a doubt the best Fast food outlet. Much rather go to them then the shitty burgers you get in Mcdonalds

Greggs are an absolute nightmare to get served in. Open one and it immediately fills up with the sort of pikeys that go in there just to go in there, same as they do with unstaffed West Sussex train stations. There'll be one cabinet with sandwiches in, completely blocked by a milling-around non-queue composed in the main of care in the community cases. Complete shambles and you end up three times out of five going to the too-much-bread-and-piss-poor-fillings Benjis three doors down just because you can be in and out in under a minute.

Greggs do a very fine line in Mexican chicken & Piri-Piri chicken rolls, has to be said. Just a shame you ain't got twenty minutes to kill trying to get somebody to take your money off you.

stupid thing to say but ,i just remembered that when i was a kid i used to run through the subway at the bottom of Regency Square to the seafront Singing- "SUBway, sUbway!" to the tune of Stingray.

the fun i used to have , we didnt need playstations to entertain us in those days!!!

I'm sure that there is a Greggs in Horsham now opposite the Wimpy. Far better is the Proper Pasty Company just along the road.

As for Subway, they are franchised. The one on Western Road (opposite McD's) is run by the same bloke who has the Worthing franchise (good food, cute blond at weekends) and the Bognor franchise.

Get your loyalty card and your stamps and you get a free sarnie after a few visits. Can't beat free food*

* Note, to get free sandwich you must buy fizzy frink for £1.09 so not strictly free!

I like Subway, but the ones in the US are much better, more choice of breads and veggies, 4 different kinds of chilli for instance. Although, you can't beat a GRUBBS Double Mushroom with Cheese. Genius!

So Subway are taking over Brighton. Whoopee! And the fact that a US-based multinational is "taking over Brighton" is to be celebrated? No. It's WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!

What about all the independent cafés and restaurants Brighton that contribute in no small way to making Brighton the place that it is (individual, eclectic, etc, etc) that can't compete with the buying power of places like Subway? Take them all away and it becomes Croydon by the sea. Subway's aggressive march into Britain's stomachs (see their outlet at the university where a hard up student will buy cheap food over good food every single time) should be resisted not celebrated. As soon as the independents are out of business then people have no choice other than to worship at the alter of the junk food dollar.

I strongly anybody to read "Fast Food Nation" by Eric Schlosser and "Not On The Label" by Felicity Lawrence. Even if you only pick them up in a bookshop and flick through them, you'll find dozens of reasons why American multinational food outlets' practices are bad for the world and bad for the economy of local communities.
