Greggs Crawl

[diffrentcolours]

Last Friday, cosmolinguist and I met up with a bunch of people from t'Internet for a Greggs crawl. Like a pub crawl, but with Greggs. We started at 6:30 and finished around 8 when most branches closed, and managed to hit up four branches in that time. I had a sausage and bean melt in the first two, a steak bake in the third. By the time we hit the fourth, the teen/twentysomethings we were with were full, but I was insistent that it didn't count if nobody bought anything, so I got a doughnut and shamed some of them into purchasing too.

It was stupid and pointless but it got us out of the house, and got us talking to some strangers. It was more accessible than a pub crawl too - less time to get served, the items were cheaper, and open to people who don't drink or don't like pubs.

Afterwards, E and I did go to an actual pub for a pint and I taught him how to play Pokémon Go. Sadly on the bus back we were harassed by somebody for wearing masks, which is actually the first time that's happened, and it happened all the way back home. 20 minutes of being yelled at is hard to ignore.

I'm glad you got out for some fun. I'd probably go on a crawl like that with you.

Some people are a waste of oxygen.

Oh god that sounds like a fantastic activity! Stupid and pointless is what life is all about!
