My wife is an incredible cook...as am I .  that doesnt mean we sometimes buy ready made food. You are a poor judge.

greggs are excellent at them...and sausage rolls...I cant beat them. i dont eat them often.
Ive just perfected salt and pepper chiken wings and spare ribs....its quite a fashionable spice. salt and pepper chips are now popular too. i make my own seasoning mix and its brilliant.

I cant remember the last time I was impressed with a meal at a restaurant

As an elderly person I wouldn't miss Greggs at all; I've never been in there.

Their vegetable pasties are nice.  Don't eat any of the meat ones I'm fussy when it comes to meat.

Greggs outlined basic plans if coronavirus affects them.

Here on the Algarve, my family has started on contingency plans, due to the number of at-risk people we currently have in the house.  That's 3 x age, 1 x diabetes, 1 x significant respiratory problems.

And I'm monitoring the situation in Portugal, which has just had its first two cases, both being treated in Porto hospital.

My mother who is 82 this weekend and who we were going to stay with to help her celebrate is afraid we will bring the disease with us and doesn’t want us to come now.  :-(

That would be a great pity but such is the media hype, then it is understandable that she is concerned.

If you are clean of any flu symptoms, it would be a good time to visit, before the s##t gets worse.

You can be a carrier without showing any signs of having the virus and she is adamant that we don’t travel via big stations like St Panc, and risk being coughed on by a carrier.
