10th February Greggs serves up a tasty jumper


Is it a snack you can wear or an item of clothing you can eat? That is the question on the lips of high street consumers of savoury steak bakes and cheap clothing this morning following the news that the retailer Primark has joined forces with the bakery chain Greggs to launch a new clothing line

A limited-edition, 11-piece collection of clothing will be available in 60 Primark stores later this month, whilst Greggs will open a 130-seater café in Primark's flagship store in Birmingham. Hopefully its on the ground flooor otherwise Gregg's regulars will struggle to manage any flights of stairs or get more than three people in a lift.

Expected to trade under the name 'Piemark' is has not been confirmed yet whether the range will be designed by Ted Baker but it is expected that the clothing which will probably be made in third world sweatshops (or Leicester factories) will only be available in XXXXL 

Jacob Rees Mogg was quick to claim this was only the first of his new initiatives to see Great Britain unleashing its full Brexit potential on an unsuspecting world. More details of what will be included in the clothing range will be shared nearer the launch date, but here is an exclusive Grace Under Pressure preview

  A chance to stretch our legs today with our first port of call; Olbia, Sardinia. And it was a quick stretch too due to it being only a five hour stay. Up bright and early, so early in fact that the hot food at the buffet wasn't even ready to be served. Still it gave us a chance to watch the ship glide into port past a host of oyster/mussel beds, before performing a 180 degree turn to reverse into it's berth. A couple of short bus rides later and we were in downtown Olbia. But there an hour or so before anything appeared to open, the disadvantage of being early birds and something we don't seem to learn! Not that Olbia had a great deal to see or maybe if we had done the slightest bit of planning beforehand there might have benn but we didn't. It was pleasant enough but that's about it. It was pleasant enough but nothing special, indeed we were back on the ship after just a couple of hours ashore and then managed to sleep away most of th...

7th May Naples

Image
 I'm sure I've heard the phrase 'see Naples and die' suggesting that it is perhaps not the nicest location in the Mediterranean but if it's good enough for Diego Maradona fir a few years then it's good enough for me for 10 hours. Although the millions of tax free pounds he was paid might have eased his stay. By the time we got up, washed, dressed and up to The Kitchens, the rest of the ship were already there. Compared to the Marie Celeste of yesterday it was absolutely packed, presumably with people having breakfast before heading out on 8am excursions, our excursion was simply going to be the city of Naples itself as possible trips to Vesuvius, Pompei or the Amalfi coast would have been too much / tired.  So on a day when the weather initially seemed uncertain, we jumped aboard route A for the Hop on Hop off bus and headed out into the mayhem that is the Napoli traffic where it was every van, car and scooter for the selves. I think it's bes...
