World Famous Pies

In the second of today's posts about things on other peoples blogs - I thought I should mention a post on the very enjoyable blog Getting Worse about something I had noticed myself but forgotten about. I really enjoy the Getting Worse blog as it combines one of my own favourite past times, moaning about things, with some really valid points and catches all kinds of stupid behaviour in a humourous way. Well worth a read.

"DOES THE TRADES DESCRIPTION ACT COVER THIS LOCAL SHOP SIGN?
It says:
“HOWARD’S QUALITY BUTCHERS
WORLD FAMOUS STEAK PIES AND SAUSAGES”
Can Howard really get away with this? World famous sausages? Seriously?
If I travelled to France or Australia and asked a random person on the street if they had heard of Howard’s of Shawlands and his world famous pies, what do you think the answer would be?
Yep. Things are getting worse when bizarre claims are made on shop signs! Come on; we can do better than that, surely!"

I have had pies and sausages from Howard's and they were rather tasty but I'm pretty sure I'd have struggled to remember the name of the butcher and I wonder how many people in Glasgow let alone France or Australia know the famous meat products - though I could be wrong.
