So many questions about this story.

* Why would you want to eat a meat pie at 7am?
* 'Tony, who has fish and chips three days a week and says he rarely touches pastry'?!?
* What are these sinister reasons why he believes Morrisons are witholding pies from him?
* Couldn't they at least be magnanimous in victory?

Its a victory for the common man against a corporate behemoth.

Tony, who has fish and chips three days a week and says he rarely touches pastry, believes Morrisons have a hidden agenda.

They wanted to buy eight large sausage rolls and two steak bakes at 8.45am last Wednesday

‘We have always been able to get the pies before 9am. The decision makes no sense. I can’t see any logic.’

:sherlock:

Though my favourite line of the whole piece is:

"Five other people joined the queue at Berwick Hills and saw the meat treats in the back"

:hehe:

I of course agree that if a paying customer wants a pie at 7am then it is his or her God-given right to have one. That is what our forbears fought and died for.

Now they need to start on McDonald's and its absurd belief that I only ever want breakfast at breakfast time.

**** me, the hack must have had a laugh writing that one :hehe:

Morrisons have now contacted metro.co.uk to tell us that they have backed down in a humbling defeat.

Speaking earlier about their ordeal, Linda said...

But Tony suggested a more sinister explanation...

Said pies are cooked in the store, if they are not ready at 7am then the fúcker can wait.

I know. :hehe: I'm imagining them slavering as they press their faces to the glass at the sight of unattainable pies.

Perhaps they were buying them for friends? Or perhaps his missus is the real pie-beast?

I still want to know what the hidden agenda is, though. :rubchin:

Did you make it to the very end??

But they WERE cooked. She could have reached over and grabbed one herself. The rule makes no sense!

He has fish and chips three times a week. What the **** has that got to do with it??

:nod: In fact, that sentence starts with two of the finest and most puzzling non-sequiturs in journalistic history.

Just allowing us to build a mental picture of the poor bloke, profile him if you will.

He likes more than pies, he is not odd.

Notice that it doesn't say he doesn't like pies, just that he rarely touches pastry. He may well just open them up and feast on the delicious meat within, discarding the filthy pastry.

In which case, he is odd.

I am led to believe that these people have form for complaining http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/new...rb_complaints/

He is campaigning for the right to buy meat pies at 7 in the morning. I think the ship has sailed on oddness.

The Metro is a bit of a goldmine at the moment. Even a stopped clock . . . etc

THere is something not quite right about that story. I am tempted to say it is complete and utter *******s.

Most people would normally want breakfast at breakfast time however, isn't McDonalds problem finding someone who wants a McDonalds breakfast at all...?

Absolutely nothing wrong with a Sausage and Egg McMuffin ABR.
