Ah snowballs, lovely as a kid but have gone downhill these days.

A picture of a pastie for our american cousins



Basically its a bit like a pie but different and can have any sort of fillings, cornish as previously said but also cheese or corned beef and now there are posh pastie shops that have all sorts of fillings.

The guy who got sent to Stoke was that som sort of punishment, cant think of a worse place to be exchanged too.

It was the opposite, the guy from Stoke came to live with us. When I visited it wasn't so bad. I mean there is the pottery museum [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img].

Although one of the best matches I've seen in terms of atmosphere at the ground was Stoke City - Preston North End. The match was good, City won 2-1 with a goal in the 89th minute or something. The atmosphere was good because both teams are small so the fans are much more passionate and not of the fair weather variety. The next week I went to Liverpool - Middlesbrough at Anfield and while it was still impressive the fans weren't nearly as passionate as the 2nd division match I'd gone to a week earlier. I found a possible reason after the match when it took us forever to get back to Stoke because so many fans at the match were driving out of Liverpool to go home.

My team played stoke this season so I had my first visit, I was thankful that the locals didnt partake in the usual pastime of lobbing bricks at the away supporters. Its a tough part of the country.
