Bennets is cheap and decent started going in 85 when at sixth form. Whitesides on halliwell road better for fish though but dearer. Best pie shop got to be Armstrongs on Morris Green Lane. Been going since 76. Fraser’s pork pies are something else. Had a Dawsons pasty tother day in Westhoughton. Not bad.
I got a pastie from Hunters a couple of years ago on the back of recommendations . Thought it was shit. Don’t rate Carrs either. Although they are not bad with peas and gravy for a bit of moistness 😀
Was behind Nicky Hunt in Howfen Sainsburys the other day. Didn’t realise how bloody tall he was. Wikipedia says 6 foot 1 but he looked a lot taller to me. I’m only 5’8” btw. He was wearing a Wanderers hat, fair play.
