Is it very Northern?

I can honestly say that I had never seen a Waitrose until I went to London. Are there even any up North? :s-smilie:

You know Lancaster is a Northern town due to the sheer number of Greggs. Down South, particularly in London they seem to be replaced my ‘Pret A Manger.’ (Or ‘Pratt A Manager’ as I like to call it).

I don’t really have many Southern friends, most of mine tend to be from Lancashire or Cumbria, although I did know I lovely girl from Devon in my first year.

Awww, I used to work in Greggs and I'm from Hampshire :P They used to shuttle me about everywhere as well, there are quite a few round here at least, about 10 in Portsmouth alone, I swear!

its less northen that manchester or liverpool... :tongue:

im from kent origionally, and its as quick for me to get to the noth side of london [euston], as it is for me to get the rest of the way home...

if you book early enough you can get singles to london from about £10...


I live on the London/Kent border (Lewisham/Bromley boroughs) and it took me and my Dad 7 1/2 hours to drive up to Lancaster.

And if the ticket singles are in reference to trains opposed to coaches, then you must be a very organised person. I tried to book train tickets to Lancaster in advance about one a half months and the tickets were 70 odd pounds single.
Oh, and there is definitely Waitroses up north. There are also lots and lots of Gregg's down south. :smile:
greggs :coma:

we tend to have booths, can't say i've seen any down south

Wow! are you sure you weren't looking at first class or anything? Railcard is your friend, as is not caring what time the train you will get is- some are drastically cheaper than others. I can get an advance return to Berwick, through Edinburgh, for less than £20, so to London Should be much cheaper!
