i want to go to greggs. How come there’s no greggs here. Once upon a time the British colonized the globe now they can’t even open a Gregg’s in my city
The company sees potential longer term for international expansion. It is probably a good thing that Greggs is treading cautiously here, in its own words ‘conducting some very early analysis to help better understand the possible opportunity’.
Just because a proposition works in the UK doesn’t mean it will necessarily translate beyond these borders. Overseas markets have often been a graveyard for the ambitions of British firms in the past as they’ve struggled to replicate their homeland success, perhaps because of cultural or management issues. Greggs itself abandoned a five-year effort in Belgium (seen as a launchpad for wider European expansion) in 2008.
For now, investors would settle for execution on the domestic opportunity. This won’t be easy, given the inflationary pressures, supply chain issues and staff shortages which Greggs, like any number of businesses, is facing.
imagine *american voice* tipping your server at Greggs. cultural issues.
oh i had read about the Belgium locations, even that didnt work out i guess…
“your server at greggs”? Isnt it counter service? We dont tip for that
my god, you don’t tip for counter service. you want them to starve…
One thing that’s important for everyone who wants to Make Number Go Up to know is that getting famous on tumblr is a very bad way to do it. I’m not like, tumblr famous, but based on the polls that float around, I’m around 97th percentile in follower count - my blog is around ten years old and I’ve been making original posts consistently for close to 4 years now
Within 3 months of joining TikTok, one of my good friends had well over 3 times my current tumblr follower count from a single viral TikTok. And it wasn’t even, like, viral viral!
I’m on here because the way people go viral and build followings on sites like TikTok and twitter scares me. I like gaining followers and getting notes but I also like being in my tiny corner of the internet and not being exposed to The Horrors. If you’re mad about not getting enough reblogs, go post on twitter!
The flip side of this is you have appreciably more traction on a follower’s life here on [tumblr], the connections are less promiscuously numerous but thicker
::thinks about ritual bathing/cleansing in major world religions::
Wait a second, if my hair’s “no-poo” shampoo-free am I ritually unclean? Can’t be, shampoo only spread from India in the 19th century. Am I like, unclean for Mormon purposes or anything?
While every force available in the world is searching for the 5 people in the oceangate submersible, a boat filled with mostly Syrian and Pakistani refugees sank under still “unknown” circumstances off the coast of Peloponnisos, Greece (with the coast guard present). More than 600 people drowned but guess which of the two is making headlines
I mean, they will! They were going to already, now you’ve just volunteered that to represent a failure on behalf of your movement. What are we even doing here?
how have i volunteered anything? what are you talking about?
this happened before the sub even went missing and the coverage is absolutely disproportional
The wreck of the Titanic is in the Atlantic, which is not the Agean or “Europe’s Biggest Migrant’s Cemetery” – the Mediterranean – how are you even bringing the sub into this? Their issue is about Europe accepting and not mitigating the hazards of arrival by sea so as to maintain their effect as an illicit migration deterrent, and in that context I continue to ask — what are we even doing here?
The sub is mentioned in their post???
They’re complaining about asymmetrical media coverage
one of these events involved the loss of 120 times the lives of the other and should be a much bigger controversy than it is being treated as, with continuous coverage and international condemnation
how is this confusing to you?
Oh my commentary is exclusively in relation to the pictures. So “they will” is meaning “tourists will enjoy their swim/cruise”, not “600 people drowned will make headlines”
So on top of the specific muscle weakness from my post-exertional symptom after mulching the other day (itself atop all the soreness) I also spent yesterday effectively two creatine scoops down in general, and it was interesting to see a bit of the effects I hadn’t really thought of as energy deficit related – fingers growing fumbly as I did delicate work, some brain fog and limits on mental complexity – showing back up
Today I’m like one scoop down but I was expecting to cut back a scoop in a week or so so fine.
Also to anyone complaining about countries devoting resources to this sub, the US maintains deep sea capabilities for reasons of state, which includes deep sea rescue capabilities mostly relating to the SLBM leg of the nuclear triad, this was a free practice scenario and like, enrichment for those guys.
Badger’s not as cuddly in the warm season but this year he’s become more complexly vocal, vocalizing to alert me when he’s in a dark room or in response to being directly addressed (as “Badger” or more often “cat!”), and he’s able to meow for food for like 10 seconds as mealtime approaches but if no positive response give up and try again 10 min later.
