no, miss faerie - one pie shop in wigan has pastry that falls slightly below the ambrosia like standard of the others and derian made a silly joke about it and you just had to join in:rolleyes: ;)

None of your £7.95 for a pie malarky in Wigan. :)

oh and the inhabitants of Wigan are known as "pie-eaters"

very true, but actually there is an interesting socio-political tale behind that.....

neighbouring Laythers (Leigh folk) are 'lobby gobblers' :cool:
 
and to rise to the doubting Callie's challenge when and whereare we going to do this pie-a-thon then?

before or after christmas? - I reckon it probably needs to be after
we could do it in that London and combine it with an offline or a prod ...

did you know they called Heywood monkey town? - apparently the bar stools in the pubs of Heywood had to have holes in the seats for the patrons to put their tails through ....

And a London walk to burn off the calories and work up an appetite for dessert pies :cool:

Some people reckon the 'pie eating' moniker comes from the fact Wigan's miners went back to work before others arround them during strikes way back when - hence eating 'humble pie'

but there are an awful lot of pie shops in wigan :cool:

i triied to amusingly cut n paste out of context information about wigan's pies but it went wrong. :( what a waste of my life :( ooh...pie :) anyway, derian's cool so i always copy her :cool:
 
hold on, hold on... there's nothing to say that there can only be one pie meet...

i think a london one is inevitable, and something like a pre-prod or offline event sounds the most likely to work.

a bristol one - perhaps combined with a tour of pieminister's kitchen, say - would also work i think.

as for the north, midlands, wales, scotland and the deep south-west, i think those actually there need to sort out where/when/who etc...

after xmas sounds the best bet to me though...
