Fixed.
There was a segment on the channel seven Sunrise program this morning.

I totally agreed with the crew that curried camel, flavoured crocodile and gluten free pies/pasties didn't belong in the same categories as the mainstream products. They should have been in their own separate categories.

I need to get on the judging panel for this event and sort these people out.

From what I understand, the Big Ben pie is no longer available. The name was stolen from my father back in the 70's when he told one of the bakery supply company travelling reps that he was developing a new larger pie range to be named after his brother in-law. My uncle Ben was rather a large unit . The salesman took the idea to Glover Gibbs management and they produced their own version a few weeks later. My dad never got to release his range of big pies under that name because he was wary of litigation from the huge company that stole his idea.

EDIT: Just got told by a workmate that the B B pies are still made.
