Our week on social media

There was shock on our social media sites last week when we revealed Greggs were set to shed jobs at their Cambuslang bakery. Here’s what you had to say: “Fifty jobs to go yet they’re expanding and adding on to the building. I thought they’d be taking people on. Strange.”- Robert Colquhoun

“Strange one, you go into Greggs and it’s always mobbed. You would think they were in a position to create more jobs rather than take them away.”- Malky McWhirter

“I’ve been in Greggs a couple of times this week and the shelves of cakes were empty.”- Christine Boyd

“A lot of my friends post stuff about supporting local businesses especially bakers. They often specifically ask people to boycott Greggs, and I explain that is difficult for me as they are my local bakery.”- Elaine Nicol

As ever, the Cathkin Relief Road prompted conversation when we revealed the opening had been delayed again:

“I don’t want it to open. I don’t even know where the crossing is going to be. Wish they’d just keep that school bus on for them.”- Vicki Marr

Elsewhere, there was not much sympathy for councillors set to stand down at this year’s local elections:

“I’ll be vigorously campaigning against them.” - Sandra Effie Arnott

“Time they stood down, we might get people that actually care about Rutherglen voted in.”- Alice Dempster
