Ivor Dewdney Pasties

THE Guzz pasty shop(s). Still going strong when I visited last year, and has been going for donkey's years.
Used to have a stall outside St.Levan gate in the 50s. When the pubs turned out at 11 o'clock the queue used to stretch for miles.
Having obtained your "oggie special" (large, red hot pasty, split open, with sausage and tomato sauce inserted), you could stagger back to your ship dripping tomato sauce down the front of your No 2s without a care in the world. The stains never came out though!

You buggers', there are down sides to living abroad and you are making me salivate at the thought of eating a hot pasty on a cold day. Hmmmmm

Dont Ivor Dewdney's still go around the Guzz ships every stand easy then?

Tha Canman usually gets a load and sells them at stand easy, but I have heard that has stopped now, due to Food Hygiene regulations.

Is there any truth in that?
 
I think they WERE stopped for a while due to keeping the food at a certain temperature and food handling/prep area laws etc but obviously there has been a work-round found.

.......ahhhhhhhhhhh those were the days :lol: ...remember a mess oppo waking up in his hammock with a bunch of pig trotter bones on his chest :lol: ...poor bugger has crossed the bar now :sad:
 
The Oggie stall at Levans gate brought back memories of chins dripping with red sauce from red hot Chuffs and Puffs whilst negotiating the perils of the dockyard and trying to remember where we left our ship.

As to the name of the owner of the stall, at that time of night and in the condition we were in I don't think anyone gave a monkeys. The venerable Dame Aggie Weston could have been behind the counter and nobody would have remembered the next morning.

Bloody good oggies though.

Always chuckle when I hear that one!

Waiter I have a fly in my soup.

Out in the field it is flicked aside and the intake recommences.
