Do any of you remember the pie wars?

1950's/early 1960's. Bryn: two pie shops in close proximity.

Cis Pownall's, and Smith's.

And competing with one another, not on price, but on QUALITY!

Which, meant that they were REALLY, REALLY, SCRUMMY!

They really took off from when food rationing ended, and attained a quality which I think unsurpassed to this day: thin delicate pastry, no rubbish but first class quality fillings, and flavour/ spicing spot-on!

When later I was working in a maintenance role, folk would almost fight with each other to get the Bryn/Ashton patch, which held out the attraction of Pownalls/Smiths pies for dinner.
