There must have been great internal conflict at the police having the choice of greater crime and disorder and 24 hour a day pies.

Does Greggs sell donuts?

Why is Greggs so desperate to sell baked goods 24/7? Is there a huge untapped market between 11pm and 5am that is critical to their business success?

The odd thing about sausage rolls is that they don't contain sausages.
I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

Maybe they should be playing some Grieg's music instead?

It is in Leicester Sq. so an area already busy through the night. It seems unlikely that there is any evidence that it would really significantly increase anti-social behaviour or crime.

Would be good if they offered seating though: It is their "flagship store" and might help their appeal even if meant more cost for them? 

Grieg would be good too :)
