I fought it off with a Lincolnshire sausage. It did take one of the Neighbours kids though. It muttered something about home-made kebabs as it left :shock:

Ah the good old sausage defence.

Also remember, if that does not work completely you could also throw a haslet at it.

Note to self: Yorkshire wallet can chew through steel but is easily thwarted by a cheap lincolnshire sausage

As long as it's not dragging a string of Hampshire posties. Mind you there are some people where I work that I'd like to sacrifice

I'll stick it's teeth together - a couple of Callard & Bowsers Treacle Toffees!!

Callard and Bowsers, Macgowans Highland ?? Don't tell me they have stopped making Farrahs Original Harrogate Toffee then? When I lived in Leeds I was quiet partial to Harrogate toffee.The empty tins were useful as I used to keep my baccy and Rizzlas in a Farrahs tin (when I was rolling my own). That takes me back.
Cheers,

Sirs

Our client retreats quietly for a few days to immerse herself in a little Kafka* and returns to discover that she is the subject of a heinous libel involving her alleged voracious appetite, Pukka Pies, Harrogate Toffees and an allegation that she may be from Yorkshire.

Our instructions are clear. Sirs, you have been warned.

*our client wishes to add the following comment:
Note to toyboy: Kafka, dear, not cough mixture.

I have just seen this headline on the BBC website:

Yorkshire profits up 12%

I think we all know why.

Thank you and goodnight.

Well I have to say I am disappointed, nay, deflated to read the sad news that Mrs BB does not want to have any association with Pukka pies.

Whatever next?

Please dont tell me she turns her nose up at mushy peas as well?

I really dont think that I can take much more of this depressing news. I can see now why the wallet channels its frustration into anger, and why it was felled by a single Lincolnshire sausage - there was no onion gravy with it.

No wonder this country has gone to the dogs with displays of such culinary discrimination. I Google for the ultimate pie and mushy peas photo and what do I find? The retail emporium is in Australia!!!! :roll:

And what is this Yorkshire monstrosity supposed to represent?:-

A pork pie with mushy peas inside??

I can only assume it is the subversive work of Lancastrians, no true Yorkshireman would ever sully the great traditions of pork pies and mushy peas by mixing them together like that in a hotpot style. Unless it's a southerner, doing it purely for effect and cheap advertising? :cry:

They do a damned good meat pie floater at the Royal Shepherd inn in Skipton. Highly recommended by Mrs BB.

Can't stand mushies meself - never have been able to. Nice pies though......

What is this strange aversion you have to the bassoon? Should we be told?
