Ydc pimp thread

[cornishmaid1961]

I know I've been silly trying to push my auction. 2 serious questions though. I've not participated in the ydc for a few months and am back now.
However, what's happened to the "lucky charm" thingy that was supposed to be relisted every month (I'm probably going back to late spring last year?) and also the t shirt that quad started, with signatures of ebid members?
Who's hanging on to them, rather then relisting them?

The T-shirt is in the USA so everybody has to bid hard to get it back to English soil in time for the next YDC ! Sorry I can't bid for it as I sold it last time!

I have vague memories of the charm thingy but don't know what happened to it!

Long ago, Cornish miners shouted 'Oggie Oggie, Tiddy Oggie' in unison at crib (meal) time, before eating their traditional pasties, also known as oggies (or tiddy oggies). Cornish pasties originated as portable lunches for tin miners, fishermen and farmers to take to work. Housewives used to make one for each member of the household and mark their initials on one end of the pasty. The miners carried their pasties to work in a tin bucket which they heated by burning a candle underneath. They threw away the oggies' thick, wide pastry edges after eating the rest of their meal, to avoid being poisoned by tin or copper dust from their fingers.
Sadly, the Cornish mining industry collapsed in the mid 1800s, forcing large numbers of miners, artisans and merchants to seek work abroad. Pasties have accompanied Cornish settlers overseas, and are to be found in many parts of the world, including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada, and the USA.
Nobody knows exactly when pasties originated, but there's a letter in existence from a baker to Henry VIII's third wife, Jane Seymour (1510-1537) saying '...hope this pasty reaches you in better condition than the last one...'
As well as being one of Cornwall's most successful food exports, the Cornish pasty is also an essential part of the holiday experience for 3.5 million tourists a year.

I also read something somewhere in a research project connected to mining that some areas that used to take their pastys as their lunch used to have them half savoury and half sweet -

am I remembering right??
