No problem, Paul - if you buy them regularly, the extra walks to the cash point will burn off the calories. [8D][;)][:D]

When the opened in Birmingham they had the best advertising campaign, as most people hadn't heard of them. Park outside the railway station with a van full of dozen size boxes and give them away to anyone walking past!

Mmmmm donuts.

The Tesco in Watford has the Krispy Kreme onsite factory. When i used to work in Watford it was always a temptation to go to there. You could go along to the clear perspex windows of the factory, be guided along past conveyor belts with a brief introductory tour of the making of Krispy Kreme donuts, from mix to glaze, and the tour would end with a nice staffer giving you a free glazed donut for being so interested. It quickly turned into the 'lets get a free donut' lunch - and the 'i need to go to the gym' a few months later [:)]

Thanks,
Sarah

Oh please don't. They've been doing them at the Tesco Metro at Bank for a year plus now at the ground floor of the building I work in. I am lucky enough to work with a great team of people who are very open about it when they mess up. We have an unwritten rule that every f*** up each individual does we have to buy the whole team doughnuts. Hence the need for industrial lifts and extra wide stairs.

One day recently one long standing team member who'd f****** up decided that enough was enough and that fresh fruit was the alternative way to do resolve such things. It didn't work, amounting to a double fine of Krispy Kremes for them.

Needless to say I have an account with Krispy Kreme, and a frequent fryer card.

I keep hearing about these Krispy Kremes, getting the feeling I am seriously missing out? Doesn't sound as if they would be compatible with my bikini diet though!

Depends entirely on what size bikini you plan on buying. [;)]

They've been in the Tesco in Covent Garden for a couple of years - in fact since I first found V-Flyer....

For someone with a sweet tooth, I find them curiously resistable. A bit like Hershey Bars, long on promise but short on delivery. Good thing too as my waist is large enough without their assistance..

They have been on sale in the Tescos on Whitehall for a few years now - a popular place for us in the office to pop in for a box or 3 when it is your Birthday. Yum

At first I seem to remember they were only avail in Harrods, and there was a link-up with the old LHR CH who had them too.

I do remember getting my fixation with KK via the LHR CH. Anyone remember the Innocent Smoothie firdge too?

I've always thought I should spend less time at the bar in the CH, I don't remember the Innocent Smoothie fridge? Is there a Cartier Jewellery Bucket I should be looking for too?
