THE BIGGEST Greggs in the world opened in Oxford this week, the same week that activists glued shut bank doors, Prince Charles visited Oxford University and the first cases of Coronavirus were finally confirmed in the county.

It’s been a busy week of news at Oxford Mail towers but you have still had time to leave your views so here is a round up of your funniest and most controversial opinions left on our stories.

On Monday, staff at Barclays Bank branches, including Cornmarket, arrived at work to find the doors glued and nailed shut by Greenpeace campaigners overnight.

It was part of the group's protest against fossil fuel funding.

  • Fuzzywuzzywuzzabear: “Excellent way to win support of regular people for the cause, not.”
  • Andrew:Oxford: “So the first thing that Barclays staff (or their contractors) will have to do is soak the area in Acetone to dissolve the glue... Acetone isn’t exactly good for the environment at the best of times, I’m not sure what happens to the cyanide compounds in the glue when they are dissolved in acetone, but they will probably make their way into the drains and river that runs under Carfax.”
  • SJT1970: “Criminal damage is not peaceful protest. I trust the police will take appropriate action”

On Tuesday Gregg’s fans rejoiced (and queued) at the latest offering from the chain on Cornmarket Street.

It’s the biggest of its kind, with 66 seats upstairs.

  • CowleyMarsh: “I LOVE sausage rolls.”
  • Lisa Wills: “Created jobs which is a good thing. And people choose whether to eat there or not..better than an empty shop. Also the company are trying to please Vegan customers. Well you can’t please everyone can you.”
  • Wellblowme: “More rubbish and food on Cornmarket!”
  • DD66: “World’s biggest? That’s hilarious. It could be because there’s no desire for Gregg’s sandwiches anywhere else? Those kinds of records should be easy to break - in the UK. It’s not as if this country is known for great food, is it?”

Prince Charles also graced the city with his presence on Thursday, just hours before two cases of coronavirus were comfirmed in Oxfordshire.

Here’s what you said:

  • Visit Oxford: “Please Oxford Mail, do I bow and shake hands if I meet the Prince, or fist bumps only?”
  • Jerry Coe added: “You can either touch elbows or do the foot touching greeting.”

On Facebook you said:

  • Ervin Tomkys Valteri: “Lets hope his dad is not giving him a lift.”
  • Marion Barlow: “Love Charles...can’t get there sadly.”

Opinion on the virus - which is now said to have infected more than 163 people in the UK - was divided online, ranging from panic to total apathy.

  • Cptvghilts: "That's it! We're all DOOMED!!! Death awaits us all................."
  • Libbabe: "Wash your hands, don't cough or sneeze over other people & get on with your life!"
  • The Hand Grenade: "Tomorrow is another day. Stock up on loo roll and 40 per cent proof alcohol and carry on."
