I always felt kinda bad for not going to the ones the chip-and-chicken place I used to go to hand out because the guys there were super nice, but I'm also super not-religious.

Jump in and do a democracy. Campaign for something. If you don't think of yourself as suited to doorknocking most parties will want envelope stuffers or similar. Greens or Labour, or whatever. Don't write yourself off.

You'd think, but you just knuckle down and learn to do it tbh. The hard part is powering through the drudgery of it and showing up to do it all again next time.

The local party will love you for any help you can spare, I guarantee you.

That's why I'm saying come help out in kemptown. Dorset street or woodingdean office will set you right. You can just sort envelopes or help out with roadmaps or worst comes to worst phone canvas, I'm like the worst canvasser ever and I do plenty.

Don't do phone canvassing if you can help it btw, it's the loving worst. Harassing people face to face is much easier on the soul.

I dunno, it wasn't too bad. It's mostly old people and students who actually answer and at least the olds I get are more "doddering" than "frothing".

Spoons is spoons, but Greggs is so criminally underrated. Not like the steak bakes and that, everyone knows what's up there, but if you want a tuna mayo baguette it's literally half the price of any of Pret or Eat etc.

Edit: also I was at a family party the other weekend and someone brought in boxes of the caramel custard donuts. Holds up against any Krispy Kreme and it's literally 90 pence.

Greggs ham and cheese baguette is the true king in exile. It's like a quid for a foot of utilitarian sandwich.

I'm partial to their bacon baguettes they do for breakfast. The bacon's so-so and usually only lukewarm but it comes in a higher quality of bread than McDonald's bacon rolls which were so much better in the old maize style rolls they used first time out

Good time as any to post the map showing how there are no Greggs authentic Cornish pastry shops in Cornwall.



I don't really care much about Greggs either way though TBH. Tuna mayo is nice, but I hate potatoes in pastry, which excludes majority of them.

Coffee and a bacon roll with ketchup is a regular weekend treat for me. It's not amazing, but even average bacon is pretty satisfying and it's cheap as hell.
