I was told some years ago that the flour and other ingredients delivered to Gregg's overnight was converted into cash in the bank by the end of the day. Highly efficient ordering systems and a very clear idea of who their customers are and what they want.

Nobody makes a Steak Bake quite like Gregg's and their packaged sandwiches are a cut above the offerings from their competitors.

Really? Do you like Nando's too by chance?  Grin

They're really good actually, their bread is so fresh.  Totally agree with David.

Never been to a Nando's and I'm comparing Gregg's with other chain High St offerings, not with independents.

I wouldn't really consider judging a bakery by their coffee - and 'better' is presumably just whatever fillings you like

In 2014 we’re changing for the better. You can still book our very low fares and enjoy our on-time flights, but this year we are working hard to improve our customer service to bring you and your family an easier to book website, a free 2nd carry-on bag and allocated seating from 1st February which we hope will eliminate queues and stress at our boarding gates.

In the coming months we hope to roll out new products for family and business passengers, a brilliant new website from late April and mobile boarding passes in June.

This summer we’re launching exciting new routes, adding frequencies on existing routes, as we continue to lower fares to save you, your business and your family more money than ever before.

So thanks for flying Ryanair, I hope you’ll enjoy these service improvements as much as we’ll enjoy welcoming you on-board in 2014.

Best Wishes

He might have signed it...........but I bet he didn't write it  Cheesy

I actually booked the mother in law on a Ryan Air flight last week......and nearly fell off my chair when I saw she could carry on her handbag separately!

Whatever makes you say that, Nick?

He just needs a good PR guy, he's a lovely chap really.
