20 Problems Only People From Sheffield Will Understand

20. All Of The Greggs

Down South is akin to suffering through a drought, fooled by distant mirages that turn out to be just another Pret A Manger. In Sheffield, the opposite is true: you can't turn a corner without coming across a Greggs, the premiere outlet for discount meat foodstuffs. Like, there are two of three of them along the Moor alone. How are you supposed to resist when it's all around you? You could set up a Greggs crawl across the city, downing a different treat at each location: a Steak Bake here, a sausage roll there, maybe you'll even try one of their sandwiches for once. The fact that you can sit down and eat in now makes the temptation even greater. Obesity is hard to avoid when the pastry-covered carrot is constantly dangled before you.
