Rotherham[edit]

Rotherham@s a club that's big in spirit but relativel small in gates... is that 40% above average per capita at Rotherham games or an absolute figure? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.36.18.129 (talk) 13:11, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled[edit]

Oh my God thank you whoever wrote this, as I tried previously, and they deleted it! Saying it was nonsense!

Good article[edit]

I'm nothing to do with this company, but I think it's an interesting, useful entry. I was looking for information on pies when doing an entry on 'meat pies' for my blog, and this was very helpful.

2003 figures[edit]

These all need updating, the Leicester Mercury from 22 May 2007 shows Pukka as 100 in the top 400 companies in Leicestershire and Rutland with a turnover of £25,012,429 and employing 262 people, so three jobs have been lost in three years as well as ten million quid :(

Stott or Storer?[edit]

The article cites Trevor Stott as being the founder of PP, but then goes on to cite Trevor Storer as being the 904th richest person in the United Kingdom. I don't think this is correct...any suggestions on which is correct, Stott or Storer? Darkieboy236 (talk) 09:34, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's Storer...and his sons are Tim and Andrew...not Gerry —Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.8.150.6 (talk) 15:23, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Puker" pies[edit]

The name 'Pukka Pies' is often deliberately mispronounced as 'Puker Pies' in many places in Britain. This is a sarcastic reference to their supposed low quality and ubiquitous presence in fish and chip shops. --80.176.142.11 (talk) 14:26, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We would of course need a reference to this claim. As far as my own opionions on the matter go, I am from northern England and was told by a vegetarian friend, who used to live in Leicester, that Pukka Pies were "disgusting". Despite which, when visiting a colony of Central England (Barmouth, in North Wales) I found Pukka Pies quite palatable. In my view they are as good as Hollands Pies, which is the equivalent archetypal brand in N.W. England. 62.249.253.226 (talk) 21:32, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's widespread enough to be anything more than a brief note tbh, but it seems more common nearer the southern end of England. I must admit I personally I find them to be over-heavy on the MSG and artificial flavourings/spices. You get that 'Pot Noodle' after taste.
