Breakfast roll comes with a soup lid Breakfast roll comes with a soup lid

A BROMLEY man got more than he bargained for when he found a tin lid at the bottom of his sausage bap.

James McAlpine, 30, who works in The Bromley Barber Shop, in the High Street, in Bromley, bought a Breakfast Roll from bakery chain Greggs, in the same street near Bromley South Station, around 10.30am today (Nov 2).

Mr McAlpine, said: "I noticed when I bit into it and there was a metallic taste. The roll also had tomato soup all over it.

"Fortunately I looked in the brown bag it had come it and saw the sharp lid of this tin.

"If I’d scrunched up the bag to throw it away at the end I would have cut my hands and if a child had bitten into it, goodness knows what would have happened.

The barber said he rang Greggs Head Office "but they did not seem too concerned."

A Greggs spokesman said: "We are in touch with the customer and we're investigating the issue further."

Sausage bap and tomato soup for the price of sausage bap, sounds like a bargain to me. Some people are never satisfied.

1) Don't buy from Greggs, poor standard of food.

2) Lay off the sausage baps. You have had to many.

3) Always inspect take away food.

4) Won’t somebody please think of the children ?

Ah. If only. No one thinks of the children these days when it come to food. It's all now now now. Instead of wait wait wait.

You're James McAlpine the bloke in the above story.

1) When does evening end and night begin?
2) You work 6 days a week, you're in the wrong job.
3) How do you know wall waited ?
4) Maybe some people are better at their jobs than others.

The fact is you came on here purely to comment at/about the wall, and did this twice on your only day off.
The only one looking a muppet around here is you.

1) So before you went out you just had to come on the NS website sign up a leave a comment about me and not the news report. If I'm bugging you this much then good.

2) Sunday your only day off yet twice in your 'only' day off you came back to this site to check to see if I had replied. Maybe you should've paid more attention at school and got a better job. Do you get paid double for working on a Saturday? If you don't you're getting mugged off pal.

3) You're really grasping at straws with this one. But if it makes you happy to think this then knock yourself out.

4) Maybe some of us are paid to post?
Maybe some of us work with PCs/IT and can work and post. Maybe someone shouldn't make so many assumptions.

As born n breed said "The only one looking a muppet around here is you".
However I think there's more to this.
This is a cry for help, isn't it?
