Joke Thread II

[Noel]

You're already there.

In Bude or Beyond? Is there a difference?
Do you still call them Oggies?

 

[Phil Pascoe]

I don't know anyone who's ever called them oggies.

 

[Jameshow]

We holiday in Devon so Cornish pasties gave to be fetched or eaten out!!

So Phil who makes the best pasties over the border the best I've had up to now is Ivor Dewdny

I lived for too long in Devon and got confused. Fortunately I still get my cream on right on a scone.

My b.i.l. is a Janner and he always favoured Dewdney's. Most of the pasties away from the tourist traps are ok, they rely on year round sales. Inland around Camborne, Redruth and Hayle they're pretty good, around Harlyn Bay up to Tintagel on the north coast they can be quite dire. I wouldn't give my dog Ginster's.

That's an odd one - traditionally Cornish cream teas were made with splits not scones.

The Cornish paradox. Hate tourists, but their economy is largely tourism based.

 

[Jameshow]

Looe has the best pasties I've tasted, several good shops.
Head down near as to 5pm and get them reduced!!

We rarely go that far north.

88% piracy then?!!

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Cornwall is/was notorious for wreckers, but from what I've read there is only one recorded proven incidence and that was on Anglesey. A fair amount of class "A's come in on small boats, there's a big drug problem in Penzance/Newlyn.

Second only to agriculture.
