This community still needs an icon, and just the flag is boring. What does the community want to see?

Greggs pasty, or a nice cuppa (pending inevitable bickering over exactly what shade of tea)

Edit: Differentiate ourselves from the other place with an icon of a duck

A quick image search for "union jack rubber duck" shows some contenders...

[–] LillianVS@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I approve of duck. Everyone likes duck

I was thinking something Greggs based as well. I was just going to say the logo though 😂

I know this is a safe space, so I'm going to say something controversial. I don't like anything Greggs make (apart from the jammie dodger biscuit)

... There's a limit to how safe a space gets you know

[–] sideone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that's fair. I'll take it on the chin!

What's your local alternative? There's a chain in the North-West called Greenhalch's that's solid, or Cooplands in the Midlands is good too.

We have Parsons which is OK. Plenty of independent bakeries but all quite expensive (think £2.60 for a plain croissant). I don't tend to bother.
