Cant foooookin believe this, im currently in Granada, southern Spain (that i can believe cos its fooookin hot). Just been up the mountains searching for life in the local villages, when i stumbled on a little, yes little supermarket, so i went in to buy a ice cream for the misses, opens this freezer to find 4 Wrights pies and all in date.... So out they came, i thought 4 euros each was a bit expensive, but i probably would of paid a tenner 4 each 1.... Just had 2 of them with a beer, foooookin great, my first Wrights pie for nearly 5 months... they tasted like heaven  Just thought id share my little story with you all......  |

is the asian takeover a myth?
just wiki'd wrights and it says this....
The company was founded in 1926 by John James Wright and is still family-owned. In 1926, John Wright started making pies from the front room of his terraced house in Stoke-on-Trent. The Stoke-on-Trent factory is now used for confectionery production with the main premises based in Crewe.

They did go rather spicey ;D

Did a quote for one of their shops not long ago, they are still owned by the Wright family and export to many countries inc the USA. Never got the job though....Tunts.
