I thought Greggs would be a place that I wouldn't like.
But I have to say it's tremendous value and not bad at all.

I still miss benjys though.

Do you have any good Polski Skleps near you, Pat? Some of them have interesting selections of cold meats. I popped into one in Edgware on my way back from watching Barnet on Saturday and came out with some tasty sausage.

I've always wanted to go into that one on the Balls Pond Road called Smak, to ask if they have any smak.

No where I used to live there was one.
There is a TFC which is nice* they have different stuff from around the world.
If you go a bit further up to Winchmore Hill it must have been an Italian area at some point there is an old fashioned Italian cake and ice cream shop. and around the corner an old school Italian deli.

I am not sure the Italian connection to the area I can't find any info.

I go in for the beers. Zywiec, Warka, even Lech if desperate. Not entirely convinced by the meats.

I went to Winchmore Hill when doing the walk all the way down Green Lanes. It was an old drovers road going through all the greens (Palmers Green, Duckets Green, Wood Green etc) where the animals would be able to have their final few meals on their way into town.

I drank them all draft in Poland and there the Zywiec was definitely my favourite. In cans and bottles here I am not so sure.

The only one the supermarkets out here have is Tyskie which is not great. It appears to be the Fosters of Polish beer.

Yep, then walked home from there. That was the time I had a wee in that Supermarket you built. We've walked all of the ancient roads out of/into London now. Old Kent Road to Kent. Uxbridge Road to Uxbridge. Edgware Road to Edgware etc.

I used to struggle with the walk from my flat on Grand Parade to the Queens Head pub.

Thankfully the old 29 bus was hop-on hop-off.
