The one by Eden Grove in Holloway no longer exists, I believe. Shall I submit a PR?

jonty.bsky.social•15 days ago

I'll be updating the dataset tomorrow when I fix my scraper

I was about to be all, "wow how old is this dataset? there's one in Glasgow that's literally now a Greggs lmao" but it turns out they're... just immediately next to each other

Data is actually from 2024 as they broke my scraper, but I am now on a mission to update it to ensure a factually accurate spider

They broke your spider spider?

Jonty you horrorshow (btw I finally automated weekly data updates to my Greggs + Pret heatmap, what a wonderful feeling: https://urschrei.github.io/greggs/)

jonty.bsky.social•15 days ago

This is glorious. I have now trolled myself into updating my global Pret dataset, so I will have more Prets if you need them tomorrow.

urschrei.bsky.social•15 days ago

Oh yes

menger-spongebob.bsky.social•13 days ago

are any of the greggs in london any good?

urschrei.bsky.social•13 days ago

The one by Dalston Kingsland has been a place of solace on many occasions, but whether it can compete with a Northern Greggs (I’ve only been to the one in Manchester Airport) is an open question.

You’ll be pleased to know Birmingham city centre does only have eight Prets

Public service announcement:
Pret have ongoing reports on food poisoning, despite customer deaths and injuries.
Here's just the tip of the iceberg from just 1 site but different countries:

The perfect city

jabley.bsky.social•15 days ago

Do you have the data for Greggs? I suspect Newcastle will be a giant splodge.

jonty.bsky.social•15 days ago

I don't, but I have a friend who does... https://bsky.app/profile/urschrei.bsky.social/post/3lp5ywuri3c25

The Atlantic Pret midpoint.

flynnnnn.bsky.social•13 days ago

Reminds me of my (almost-working) project to make a compass that always points to the nearest Pret

jonty.bsky.social•13 days ago

@infovore.bsky.social built one of those using my https://github.com/Jonty/pretadata data in ~2015 but it seems to be broken now 😔 - http://pretator.tomarmitage.com

johnlinford.co.uk•15 days ago

Can you use this dataset to determine the mean location of Pret?

jonty.bsky.social•15 days ago

Yes! I actually have several projects around this data I've never released because I keep nerd sniping myself into doing more
