I'd consider the daily trip to Greggs as the best part of the day.
The standard order of a steak bake, sausage roll and a coffee hits the spot just right and much better than anything ever could.

That's why I feel so sorry for Adam Heslop, who'd left his house to go and grab a quick Greggs, but ended up in three hours of traffic. Nightmare.
The 27-year-old live tweeted the fiasco so all of us could feel his pain.

Adam had nipped out for a quick five-minute stop at Deepdale Retail Park in Preston on Saturday afternoon when the debacle unfolded.

Speaking to the Lancashire Evening Post, Adam said: "It took three hours for a five-minute stop.
"I thought I'd get something from Greggs, then I realised they'd closed off that road
"I arrived just before 4pm and got home just after 7pm. Everyone was asking where I'd been. I have my cat who was hungry. He wasn't very happy.
"I've had problems coming out of there before, but never that bad. The only reason I got moving was they put some traffic management in two hours later."

Because the traffic was so bad, Heslop decided to head off to KFC to get something to eat while he was stuck. This is a decision I very much admire.
"I came back and nothing had moved," he said. "I really, really regret that KFC, there wasn't anything wrong with the food - there just wasn't any movement."
It's a sad, sad state of affairs if congestion is beginning to revolt against us and is stopping us from reaching Greggs.
I'm just glad Adam made it home okay.
