Greggs will close its entire store estate from the end of business on Tuesday, saying operating a takeaway service was not enough to maintain physical distancing.

get up 3 hours earlier, drive to asda and stand in a mile long queue to get your bacon, rolls and foil.

go back home, pop the bacon under the grill, butter a roll and pop it in some foil. Job done.

if you haven't got bacon in the house then it time to pack in

Buy a chest freezer, ram it with goodies and then you haven't got to go shopping for weeks

Coffee from a flask tastes awful, £2.20 for a coffee and a bacon roll is a bargain. Would be hard to make it at home for cheaper.

Do you put milk in the flask with the coffee Ibrahima?

By:

Ibrahima Sonko When: 23 Mar 20 20:48

I have tried it everyway saddo, can never get a decent taste even with flask/mug things. Maybe its the crappy hard water i have where i live.

By:

Angoose When: 23 Mar 20 20:50

Put cold liquid in a flask and it keeps it cold.
Put hot liquid in a flask and it keeps it hot.

But how does it know

reported. stockpiler ...

It's the milk steralising in the flask that gives it a funny taste imo Ibrahima. I always take cold milk with me in a little bottle.

By:

Ibrahima Sonko When: 23 Mar 20 23:00

I shall try that, cheers.
