Remember him, every friday night, going in the taproom at the Stop and Rest in Ossy (in the sixties) with his basket full of pies, used to sell um to the lads, dominos and cheese and onion pies, washed down with a pint of bitter went down well in those days

I think JIM only delivered his pies to escape from AGNES and have a pint or two:drink:
