Greggs vs Sayers is a very Liverpool debate

Forget Everton vs Liverpool, because Greggs vs Sayers is one of the biggest rivalries in Merseyside.

Mention one and you're bound to have someone chirp up and start singing the praises of the other. They're just pasties, pies and cakes but they mean more than that to some people. It can seem like a bit of a David and Goliath battle, especially when you consider how Greggs has around 2,300 shops nationwide. and the number of Sayers shops seems to be ever dwindling.

One the one hand, you have Sayers - started in an Old Swan basement with a history intertwined with Liverpool's own for well over a hundred years - serving products that Scousers will remember from childhood. On the other, you've got an increasingly monopolistic bakery that seems to be absolutely everywhere (11 in Liverpool city centre!), and has been going from strength to strength for years.
