20 Problems Only People From Sunderland Will Understand

12. Having 6 Greggs In The City Centre, But Needing To Travel All The Way To Newcastle For A KFC

Mercifully, the opening of a KFC on Wessington Way ended this cruel and unusual torture, but for decades the only way for a Sunderland native to get their hands on some of the Colonel's finest involved almost two hour round trip up North. Burger King, McDonalds, Subway, even a Wimpy, Sunderland City Centre has never been short of fast-food and hangover busting options, but the notable absence of a KFC was not only a crime against tastebuds but a massive wasted opportunity for the franchise. Surely one of the Greggs in the city centre could have been sold off and turned into the world's home of fried chicken and those little pots of beans.
