Greggs Belgian Buns

What has happened to the size of these things? They used to be the size of a bin lid and excellent value. I used to roll them home from the shop. Now the things are tiny:mad: It is not just the Belgian buns though. The fudge dohnuts are no where near as good as they used to be.

That's a fair point I don't think they have grew that much though. We used to joke about the size of my Belgium buns at lunch time. They were a talking point.

They have hardly any fruit in them anymore as well, I was thinking the same thing the other day

I don't shop at Greggs nowadys the stuff they sell is terrible.
When they first started as Greggs of Gosforth in Newcastle way back in the late sixties/early seventies and were just a local bakery they were the best bakery around now it's just not worth bothering with.
