I hadn't heard anything about this until stumbling across it by accident online just now - so I thought I'd share. Has anyone been?

Er, by the way...you might want to read up on sarcasm.

You made a statement, which you apparently believe to be true.

Judging by the sound we hear, of tiny feet stamping.

Therefore you didn't 'return any sarcasm'.

Go to the exhibition, see what you can find out about humble pie, then report back to us.

;)

I knew the comments were light hearted - as was my response. Thus why my comment was sarcastic if you want to get into semantics :D The basis of my comment was the wider problem in general. People moan that everything is crap. If you don't like things - change them. Otherwise - keep schtum. Or start your own thread :P

ever since I found a 'tube' in one. It was the size of penne pasta - must have been a part of a cow's bronchial system.

I started a thread. People went off topic in an attempt to be humorous/whimsical. I responded in kind. I find it quite funny how people are making this into a melodrama. I'm going to start reading this with popcorn (not pies).

when i was at school there was a house at the bottom of larkhill (Preston) the front room had been turned into a shop and 2 old ladies used to sell home made meat and potato,meat or butter pies they where 6d each so that was my school dinner together with a separate ciggy bought from the shop on the corner for 2d
they where really good pies and it was called Pickering's pie shop
school dinners where 5 shillings then for the week:D

Oh by the way my parents thought i was staying at school for dinners and school thought i went home for them so got 5 shillings a week off parents .
so 2 of us used to share at this one buying the pies the other bought the ciggies normally 10 number 6 or if we where a bit short from buying sweets we got 5 park drive or separates:D:p
