And there was me pinning my hopes on charity shops. hairdressers, nail clinics and betting shops.
Sad British high street disaster. Where are the butchers? Where are independent bakeries? I live in Brussels and in a 10 minute walking radius there are restaurants, chemists, several bakeries & patisseries, bike repair, butchers, the best chocolate shop in Belgium😊, several bars with terraces that are packed as soon as a ray of sunshine appears, several clinics, small supermarkets and a local market every Wednesday. Now , if they can do it here what the hell is wrong with the same thing happening in the UK? When I visit family in the UK all I see is bleeding greggs everywhere, and get this…it is not a joke, I saw a store selling clothes with GREGGS written all over the clothes 😂 🤮
I'm old enough to remember when Gregg's were the hated face of national scale capitalism, forcing local bakeries out of business by the score. Now people defend them because they're British and at least they're not global scale capitalism which will eventually do them all in until everything is owned by Starbucks.
What, are 15 minute cities too liberal for you? You want to impose TEN MINUTE CITIES? You beast you...
High business rates in prime locations saw to the end of that. RIP Gaby. Your felafel wrap lives on.
Belgium has quite a lot of legislation to help small (family owned) businesses. For example, all shops must close one day a week, even if it is part of a large chain capable of keeping the shop open seven days per week. These kind of regulations help level the playing field. Even so, there is still an increase in the number of global brands on the high street, but not as much as in the UK.
*HERE IN BULGARIA* we have super busy thriving high streets - waiting lists for shops - why? Simple. *NO AMAZON*
Also they invest in them and they make the rent and rates affordable, they put on virtually free busses [£16 for a months unlimited travel] and they are every 7 minutes and they are brand new and have their own ROADS - you know, investment that thing the UK did for a while after WW2
The UK is a now a 3rd world status due to a handful of rich and privileged individuals and 14 years of a Tory government who have been the most corrupt and fraudulent officials anywhere in the world. 1 in 5 people in the UK are now considered to be in poverty and there are now cases of scurvy and rickets in the UK, something that was prevalent in the 19th century.
The UK has descended into 3rd world status thanks to a handful of rich privileged individuals and 14 years of a corrupt, fraudulent Tory government who have stolen billions of pounds from the public purse to line their own pockets and those of their cronies and Tory donors.

"No Amazon"👏👏👏👏
@@curtisalex456 - It makes a much bigger difference than you think - we have hundreds of small online sellers paying 50p for a listing on a market site instead of 50% of the sale price to Ama3on and going bust. Most of them have shops on the high street as well.
Ama3on put 11 MILLION small businesses out of business in the US with Ama3on Prime
Please take over as Prime Minister of the UK with immediate effect
Ah, i now see where Greggs got their business model. They'll be fighting Pret for the empty stores......along with Betfred, Turkish barbers and vape shops.....
Greggs makes McDonald's look like a 3 star mitchellin establishment
@@nopants3560 It doesn't.
@@nopants3560: Wrong way round, that…….
I went into a Pretbucks once to use the bog.
It's my proud boast that I've never been in a Pret.
me too brother
Only prats in Prêts
I've never been in one either,and have no inclination to either especially what Larry and Paul have just said,also it might be USA owned which is a big no,no for me.
I live in the north. I've never even SEEN a Pret
Me too!
It’s France dumping the EU sandwich mountain on UK after post brexit food shortages 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Don't put ANY extra strange thoughts in the heads of the brexiteers. We have enough problems as it is.
The irony is they now have pret's in france
I live in Lancashire and can happily say I've never even seen a pret a manger.
So many field reporters on standby, and on every single location in Britain. Great work!
That’s not how Hampstead looked this morning
Bought a panini and a bottle of water from Pret in 1995. Still paying off the debt now... 😕
Over the past three years, Starbucks has reported no profit and paid no income tax on sales of 1.2 billion pounds in the UK.
It was the Subway advert behind Falcon that really sold it to me ;)
😂😂😂well spotted, id not noticed it👍
AKA the Starbucks business model - Blitzkrieg people into submission by swamping the high street with multiple outlets so paying the best part of a tenner for a coffee or sandwich seems perfectly normal, obligatory even. Retail Grooming is what it is..

Make your own and bring a flask of coffee?
Hampstead looking at its beautiful best in the Spring sunshine.
Simply telling the terrible truth so brilliantly!! Wondeful script!!! What a pair of geniuses.
That should be "geniuii"....shirley?
It's great to see the reporter in the report reporting live from the high street. You can even see one of the Pret-A-Manger mobile units zipping past at 0:44. Having bought up all the vacant premises everywhere. And even more exclusive news....you caught the last Subway ad....ever.....at 0:57.
Absolutely spot on as always from Larry and Paul 😁🎉
Coffee that makes Café Nero seem like champagne 😬
Caffe Nero coffee is much better than most chain coffee shops.
@PhilMasters as he said...
My first Pret was well hairy but keen.
Thanks for the heads up, Broken News; *definitely* going to enjoy an "entirely healthy" and "reasonably priced" sandwich in one of their "tasteful" restaraunts in the "near" future.
Classic stuff. Also some great comments too, particularly the ones about the lack of independent shops. Where I live, it’s all charity shops and mens barbers - it’s not even posh enough to have a Pret. Pret is a franchise, so it’s unlikely it’ll implode as an entire group, but many of us live in hope ;-)
They don't exist in Wolverhampton as we're all too poor so we have 15 Greggs instead. Even our general hospital has Gregg's. Apparently a steak bake can help produce amazing breast milk for new moms
Lovely story. But why did Mr Oestrogenry have a baby hedgehog (hérisson) on his lapel?
Down our way, we don’t have any empty shops on the high street as Greggs have already enacted Pret’s policy.
By the way…
“Lovely Story”.
Thanks chaps
Thankyou L&P, for another lovely story and shattering my affection for Cpt Birdseye. 😅As one of the butty box brigade this means nothing to me.
YT deleting my messages in response to a commenter referring to Starbucks. and a commenter messaging about Bulgaria, which is clearly better off economically than the UK. Well done YT???
Same happened to me. No bad language used just deleted comment.
They just randomly delete... That way they can delete what they don't approve and say it is something wrong in the system.
@@ulfosterberg9116 My comment was: Over the past three years, Starbucks has reported no profit, and paid no income tax, on sales of 1.2 billion pounds in the UK.
@@ulfosterberg9116YT are also deleting a lot of my comments about corrupt, fraudulent Tories, tax avoiding companies, and companies that donate to the Tory party. I'm wondering if YT has succumbed to the great Tory take over that is occurring all around us, without a lot of folk realising, from the products you buy, to the shops you spend your money in (who donate to the Tory party), the press and media we are being exposed to that are predominately Tory platforms?
@@arbit3rIt appears that YT have succumbed to the great Tory take over that is occurring all around us, from the products you buy to the shops you spend your money in, that donate to the vile Tory party and the right wing Tory media and press, spouting Tory lies and propaganda.
Pret are just getting prepared, for I heard Bradley Walsh loves Pret and he's going to be a very busy man soon, working up a ridiculous appetite. Pret are hedging their bets on Bradley being their primary source of revenue.
Larry & Paul with the mot juste.
My town doesn't have a Pret... We do have 3 McDonald's and 4 Gregg's though. So suck on that!!
Oh so inspiring
No Pound Bakery? What kind of place is it? Lol.
Didn't we all see this coming? Better grab a "to let" storefront if you still can... Lovely story!
Haha, what a take! I shared this one on my Telegram Channel 🤣😂🤣
Hello and Thanks from Belarus 🤩😍😘
Broken News saves UK media by being the only news that isn't broken.
In other news Larry & Paul do some more of their hilarious skits on YT.
Or is that a different channel?
They were tea spittingly chuckle festastic.
Yours Sincerely,
Jibble Wangercrack.
Fancy fast food f.....s 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 so true
What a lovely story!
What a lovely story
What a lovely story.
What a lovely story. 😁
I'm sure we must have at least one in Lincolnshire, but I'll be buggered if I've seen it! I do remember seeing at least twenty in King's Cross train station when I last went to London though, so I think that's made up for it!
Thank you for making me laff in these dire times
Oh I miss the Queues of people getting increasingly irritated at how long its taken to be served so that they could hurriedly shuffle back to the office, about 20 quid lighter. The delight at seeing a poor underpaid runner order of 50 sandwiches and myriad hot drinks while holding everyone up, risking answering the question “Can this plastic knife pierce skin?” …fun times…golden times!
Should have been Gregg’s,at least the general public can afford a Gregg’s 😂😂😂
Warning, do not take a sip of your drink whilst watching this, some quality one liners will spray the stuff everywhere 😂
Worth commuting for hours to work in a shitty office for.
Brilliant, as always. Thanks 😊
Nice that is at least 10 stores a Debenhams an empty M&S and Roller ring in Colchester
This is the news! (God I wish it weren't)

What the killer sandwich company?
Should have been shut down years ago!
Two things...
1) the irony of a Subway ad on the hoarding in the background given their business model of opening franchises in every other high street shop, and
2) Pret were handy for cheap coffee: London pre-Lurgy, take away filter coffee in a reusable cup was 49p, up to about a quid back in January this year. HOWEVER I was told they are withdrawing the filter coffee because no one ever used to buy it. Mainly because they didn't advertise it. So I won't be back cos the black muck they pass as coffee is shite.
But another lovely story. Even if I am now traumatised for life at the thought of Captain Birdseye's dick end...
Long ago there was a book called Fast Food Nation. It was a investigation into US fast food franchises... Subway was by far the worst. That was back when McDonald's owned Pret. It was the brainchild of a Frenchman who sold it abt 20yrs ago. It's been sold several times since.
pret a manager , as it was known by the idiots that worked in their shopfitting workshops ( a good friend of mine worked there briefly )
I'm a flask and butty box kinda guy.
4 putains de £ pour un café au lait
I am hopeful that they can put every decent hard working family run small sandwich shop / bakery out of business along with KFC and McDonalds in a pincer movement of chaos. Wholesome, no nonesence straight forward decent food is smug and self richeous plus a bit parochial. Those who sell it, often chirpy and good for a bit of banter. I mean, who wants that when an Avocado, something mushy and formless is available sold to you by q drone? Sometimes in a plastic container full of apathy. Not me.
Oh come on there’s nothing wrong with pretty mangie food is there?
😅😅😅😅
In other news - FREE GAZA and stop the genocide
🤣🤣👍👍
it amazes me that you hire people to walk past in the background just to keep the vineer of a thriving highstreet, what fake news. the world is at an end and its all because of the highstreet
Labour propaganda , they must be spending a fortune
Ron Jon Diddles...😂
Falcon Oestrogenry! 😂😂😂🤢🤮
The only thing to save a high street is to have everything in them, living there and office space on top floors
I went into a Pretbucks once to use the bog.
You found one which worked or where the queue wasn't out the door? Amazing
