you either got the cane or a whack around the earholes for eating in the streets, simply not done. Remember ~Robert's very well, and what about Whittles, and Pimmies, been to Pimmies today. Not very long ago some Pimblets pies went out to by brother in law in a diplomatic bag. he was craving for them. along with parsnips and a thick sliced Warburtons loaf. Walked past Burchalls pie shop today as well. Eileen

Glad to hear that some things are still there. My wife is also from St.Helens and remembers Pimmies pies very well, weren't they sometimes oval and a bit posh? How about Skellands who used to be at The Lingholme, he and I were in the RAF together? I was prompted to send another message saying that if you keep talking about these recipes, you're going to have to open a shop yourself. My wife is dying to come on and talk about Scouse too.
