Hollands Pies 160th Anniversary Exhibition

Hollands Pies is holding a 160th anniversary exhibition at the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) in Manchester from now until the 12th February 2012.

I hadn't heard anything about this until stumbling across it by accident online just now - so I thought I'd share. Has anyone been?

Why Manchester? Why not here or in Southern Ireland where I believe they have moved a large portion of their work.

Welcome to Accrington - where pride is replaced by calling everything we have crap. Sarcasm returned.

Yeah, Accrington.

Where folk enjoy having a little laugh, rather than cry.

Or spend too much time seriously considering the merits of exhibiting a pie in a museum, and wondering whether to get up a charabanc trip, to go and see it.

Funny, ain't it?

Hollands might make their pies in Ireland now, but their office is in Baxenden.

Perhaps you might get a more worthy reception on Baexenden Web?

Er, by the way...you might want to read up on sarcasm.

You made a statement, which you apparently believe to be true.

Judging by the sound we hear, of tiny feet stamping.

Therefore you didn't 'return any sarcasm'.

Go to the exhibition, see what you can find out about humble pie, then report back to us.

I'll say him the trouble Rindi, they're pastry with a blob of meat in, wi a lid on, or as they used to say when I was at school Hollands pies made of flies concrete bottom iron sides

Re: Hollands Pies 160th Anniversary Exhibition

All i can say,is anyone who has "Pride" in a Hollands Pie, is sadly lacking in the I.Q. department. imho.

Re: Hollands Pies 160th Anniversary Exhibition

Funny how people get so touchy; whilst calling me touchy. I don't have any particular fondness to Hollands. I simply thought it was interesting.

I knew the comments were light hearted - as was my response. Thus why my comment was sarcastic if you want to get into semantics The basis of my comment was the wider problem in general. People moan that everything is crap. If you don't like things - change them. Otherwise - keep schtum. Or start your own thread :P
