You own a bit of Greggs now

Well technically, maybe.

Amazed to see the list of 'UK companies' (some clearly aren't UK) who UK Gov have bought short-term corporate debt from;

This £16bn given to companies that can probably manage to get through this event, but will probably never be paid back. Imagine what £16bn could have done for SMEs in this country.

Anyway good to see Greggs got a handout, along with Chanel and a handful of companies currently in dispute with HMRC and SFO over unpaid monies.

how much did Sports Direct get?

It (or rather its parent company Frasers Group) was turned down for a loan, possibly because it wasn't deemed to be financially stable enough.

Do we all get a free sausage roll?

...well, I guess it's not free as we have technically paid for it.

It's all hog anus.   But tasty.

What I don't understand is why Greggs closed when they could have legitimately remained open. Did the staff get furloughed, and that worked out cheaper than remaining open and potentially selling one steak bake an hour?

It's weird, the one near me is open but only for Just Eat delivery so there's a big A-frame in the door saying 'please go away (and order online)'.
