McDonalds, Sainsbury, Tesco, barely matters. But Greggs, that's some serious shit depriving people of pies. We need answers.

Having said this, though, my nearest Kent town has 2 Greggs, 3 if you count a garage on the outskirts of town.

Even Canary Wharf has a Greggs now.

This could be an attack on national security, after all, Greggs sausage rolls are the fuel that runs the UK police forces, much like donuts in the US ;)

Please watch "The Undeclared War", on UK-Russia Cyberwar [fictional TV series] so the 2nd season gets produced.

Hannah Khalique-Brown taught herself Python and C++ as well as playing with IDA Pro to prepare for her role in that.
