I believe pasties come from tin mining. The women would make something the men could easily carry in their pocket and eat down the mine. Blame the tin for the Romans even coming.

Red and Blue Army!

Couldn't they have used the tin they mined to make knives and forks? Presumably cutlery was introduced by outsiders to the county.

Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry.

That's called a Bedfordshire Clanger. Never had one but they sound nice.

A Cornish Pasty has a thick crust due to the dangerous levels of arsenic found in copper and tin ore. The crust was to hold the pasty and was thrown away by the miners so as to avoid arsenic from being ingested. Unfortunately, many tin miners still perished from poisoning and other dangers associated with the industry. The arsenic when extracted commercially in 'labyrinths' above the mine
from the ore was often shipped to the States to kill Boll Weevil in cotton crops.

55 years on the Palace rollercoaster!

I think it’s true. There was a piece of pastry through the middle separating the savoury mince from the sugar or fruit side. Not sure what letters let the miner know which is which or it could have been left sweet right savoury as simple as that.

You can be sure of a very warm welcome here. That's a typical Daily Mail piece of attempted troublemaking. The remarks are obviously addressed to those who determine the marketing strategy. They very specifically refer to the very unusual circumstances of the way that some second homeowners behaved during the lockdowns, by escaping the cities to come and use their properties here when they were supposed not to travel. There were also some who rented on holiday parks, but that was stopped. This caused significant problems for the health service here.

In normal circumstances, everyone will be greeted with warmth.
