And Finally, It Wasn’t a Banksy After All
This is not a Banksy
Yesterday, tipped off by several readers, we posted a pic of a new “peeing boy” graffiti artwork off Leighton Road which bore some of the hallmarks of the legendary one himself. Both Twitter and our comments section were alive with speculation until reader Susan confirmed that it’s the work of Chilean artist Otto Schade. Otto’s painting ranges from abstract and surrealism to urban art. “Working mainly with oil paint and traditional supports such as stretched canvas,” it says on his website, “the themes behind his compositions read in a personal, metaphorical sense with a sharp, ironic touch.”
The correct title of the peeing boy? “Cop A Load.” And if you’re out and about this weekend, there’s another in Lever Street in Clerkenwell. And there we have it.

£1.35 your answer lies there. A quality product at the right temperature with pleasant service is not possible at that price. We need to start realising that food is to cheap. You’ll be complaining about the meat quality and extra ingredients used next.
What a ridiculous middle class pile of tosh.
Firstly, could you not tell through the paper bag that it was cold?? Perhaps it was warm in the shop but after a 10 minute walk with it it had gone cold??
But anyways, if you go to Greggs as much as you make out you’ll know they don’t sell “hot food”, they sell freshly baked food that is hot to start with and then cools off. If they intentionally kept it hot it’d be liable to VAT. Remember that hoo-ha in last year’s budget??
Perhaps ask your office to buy a microwave??

C’mon Andy, it’s Greggs – what were you expecting??
I like cold pies. otherwise there’s a chance they might dry out a bit
If they’re left in a hot cabinet too long
Also if they’re too hot there’s the chance of scalding the roof of your mouth thus ruining the enjoyment of your bake/pie/pasty. long live cold pies!
Why is this even published? A moan about a £1.35 “steak” pastry?
What a ridiculous middle class pile of tosh.

I wish my problems were as trivial as this.
