It’s extremely quiet out there. So quiet that although I live down South I could hear the groans of disappointment from Newcastle this morning. If Horkos was a Geordie he’d be winging his way over to Roger Whiteside’s house today, but of course these are nothing like normal circumstances, so Greggs could and should be forgiven for reneging on its plans to fire up its ovens again. Particularly because behind its decision will be valid concerns for the safety of its staff and its devoted customers.
