Another one Gone.

Mark Williams butchers/pie emporium/cooked meats has closed in Ashton (last Easter I believe) a sad loss...their pies/patties were delish...apparently no one in the family wanted to continue the business. It will probably turn into a charity shop/Turkish barbers/kebab shop.

Stardelta must be full of ale?

Don't flush too soon...or the Turd will surface

I think there a few on here who would be better off laying off the ale.

I'll second that,

It might not be just ale!

We used to get Duck eggs from M Willliams. Now only got P Cain on Garswood Street as a independent butchers

Peter you're lucky there isn't one in Wigan Town centre..

Admin does the mobile butcher still park near the top of Wallgate

There are some duck eggs on here

Meat is just too expensive for most folk to buy, and for various reasons, from the price of feedstuffs and energy costs to the farmers, the regularity system, the costs to a farmer of rearing beef cattle, pork and fowl is such that the end cost to the consumer in the butchers shop and supermarket, is more than most consumers are prepared to pay, hence the collapse of demand for meat and meat stuffs, butchers just cannot make it pay

An American, a Russian, and an Israeli are approached by a journalist, who asks, "Excuse me, please tell me what you think of the current meat shortage".

What's a shortage? asks the American.

What's meat? asks the Russian.


What's 'excuse me'? asks the Israeli.
