Pasty lunch delights daytrippers

In 'the good old days', of course, they could have made the entire journey by train:

Quote

A group of "foodies" had an early rise and a 220-mile (354km) round trip - all for the love of a pasty.

More than 100 people boarded two coaches in Bristol and travelled to Kingsbridge in Devon to enjoy a pasty lunch.

Gerald Creed, from Bugler Coaches, organised the trip after tasting what he believes is "the finest pasty in the land", made by Lidstone's butchers.

"Wonderful - worth travelling all that way," one replete diner said.

The traditional family butcher's shop has been trading in Kingsbridge for more than 100 years.

William Huskisson MP^▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

Presumably Mr Creed subscribes to the theory that Cornwall is not part of England and thus not part of 'the land'. Wink

Last time I read a news article about a Buglers coach trip it was because the driver's satnav had taken her down a very narrow lane in the Forest of Dean but she persisted for a bit too long and got stuck.

Aren't there lots of people in Cornwall who think that too...? Wink

Mr Creed said the success of the trip confirmed that Bristolians were renowned for their love of good food.

As proved by the queues at the drive-thru Macdonalds in Bedminster. Cheesy
