News Flash...........
Competition this year will be strong as Graham Hird from Ingleton is rumoured to have found one of his granny's old pickle recipes that wiped the floor at the Westmorland County Show back in the fifty's, people still talk about it to this day!!!
Also lakeland Plastics in Bowness have benefited from the event and have sold out of pickle and preserve jars.
The store manager has thanked Mr Hartnell for the boost in sales...
News Just In.........Ikea have also sold out of kilner style pickle jars and on the strength of this new, upcoming event rumours are that Ikea are considering a site in Cowan Bridge for their next Superstore!!
David Kendall has also been seen wading knee deep in water out in Morecambe Bay.....maybe he's doing a spot of cockle picking for the festival or maybe he's just been washing his feet!!
It has been mentioned that Mr Creswell is trying out an all new pickled liver recipe...
The event organiser says "this could be a show stopper as Mr Creswell has been trying for years to successfully pickle his own" .
We are intrigued to find out what Mr & Mrs Titterington from No5 PV have been preserving in their back garden with a large stick and lots of boiling water.........the plot thickens ...
What a Pickle! Well picklers its pickle time once again, the date has been set and the chosen ones know who they are..........Pickle On Pickle Lovers!!!!
Will Mr Hartnell be wearing his kilt again? If so there may be another chance to see his pickled nuts again.
ReplyDeleteHorrified by strength of competition and alledged lack of pickling jars across the NW Region. Will have to resort to meditation to new tracks by Todd Bentley from his album, Marinating: Pickling In God's Presence (really!!)
ReplyDeleteFear not Smashers, I am currently brewing my celebrated Pickle Stress Reliever, I'll be round with it as soon as it has cooled.
ReplyDeleteThank Branston for that JenInMacc....
ReplyDeleteBreaking news!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Winterscales Vinegar Fields have just struck a gusher of premium grade pickling vinegar, teams of workers are fighting to bring the gusher under control to minimise the environmental impact of this priceless find. A company spokesman said "This could not have happened at a better time as local shops were turning to cheaper European imports to satisfy a sudden surge in demand in the North Yorkshire area. Striking a Vinegar well of this magnitude and quality is the icing on the cake, or should I say the gherkin in the burger!!
NEWS FLASH!!!
ReplyDeleteReports coming in of the short list of celebrity guest appearances.
1. Judy, Of Richard and Judy fame. ( No Richard as he has a allergy to pickled produce, quite ironic really!!)
2. Mr Methane (Quite partial to the odd pickled egg. Mmmmm!)
3. Peter Kay (Sees PickleFest as a step up from Celeb Big Brother.)
4. PM Gordon Brown. (Rank outsider!) Memo sent on 28 Jan. “ If I can get away from the G8 early I’m On!! And we at Labour headquarters now believe that pickling is the future, and that pickling is our only rear/viable way of pulling back from the brink of economic crisis that is over shadowing the world today. Thanks from all here to Mr Hartnell for showing us the way. P.S Pull my finger!!
I'm very excited about tomorrow's forthcoming pickling festivities. I've already been invited to sniff Martin Barnett's chutney - very tempting.

What a brilliant night which was topped off with Robbie's attempt to luge his way down the cellar steps on the ironing board. Hopefully he will keep practising an make a better controlled landing next year.
ReplyDeleteAs I write trawlermen are scouring the southern oceans looking for yet more exotic fishes to pickle, for next years show will no doubt be bigger and more monsterous.
Wow! best in show, the kids reckon my heads never been so big. Cheers Mr Pickles.
