Default Pimbletts gone bust :(

Gutted

Best Meat & Potato pies in the land, have ceased trading after some 80 odd years and 3 generations of a family run business

Most people wont have heard of them as they are local only, but they were the best Pies

I believe they are nice but as you can tell from my figure, i dont eat pie,s. The bakery down the road from the police station has a post office next to it that i travel past on the way to college every monday it has some of the worst smack heads ive ever seen queueing up outside it every day for there giro heroin money, maybe they have had there giros cut so they cant now afford a 'hit' and a pie?

On another note , ive heard some shops have been bought out

Only in St Helens and Rainford Ste so these foreigners wont know of them unless they have been lucky enough to visit the greatest town in the north and sample one.
A week last Friday (when they shut forever) was the saddest day in the town since Johnny Vegas took Johnny Depp to the Wheatsheaf where Depp got a slap, or was it the saddest day in Tellins since Bernie Winters killed his large pet bird?
Either way, every cloud has a silver lining, and now my village has a Waterfields so I can occasionally purchase splendid ready made sandwiches.

Oh I'd rather be a pastie than a pie, oh I'd rather be a pastie than a pie, oh I'd rather be a pastie, rather be a pastie, rather be a pastie than a pie....

No more bread dipping (in the gravy) there then.

Did you mange to get any pies 50% off at the end though? Would have made it all worthwhile.

or woolworthle

Yes Bubba - apologies - I am always getting my birds and my dogs mixed up

The Pimbletts meat and potato pie died 2 years ago Sonic' when they changed it for the worst. There were local campaigns to get Pimbletts to revert to the original recipe but it was never to be and proved to be a nail in their pastry coated coffin

I used to work for the now closed Rainford Group, in believe it or not...Rainford, designing RFI shielded base stations for Motorola/Nokia....

The lads would go out at 10am into the village for a Pimmies run..... I would not partake of course as my body is a temple, or was, now is a bit of a ruin.
