You HAD to eat three? Okay, I’ll believe you. Thanks for the Bimble Kieran, I enjoyed it as usual. Now you’ve made me peckish, because watching you bimble is such hard work! Carry on, I’m off to the kitchen!
Three Chorley cakes would dry your mouth out surely
My nan used to make what was a slice
of currants sandwiched between buttery pastry. She called it fly pie & she was from Orford. I can remember it being delicious.
I had a aunt from Chorley. Very serious woman, who went to church and dressed in black❤😊
Love these mate…look forward to them.
Great video Kieran
Feels like we’re right there
9:13 spotted some blue sky
Thank you 🇨🇦🇬🇧
I hope you travelled home from CHORLEY Railway station, it's about 100 yards from your Chorley Cake bench.
Speed bimbler 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Still my best warrington youtuber by far ❤
Fly pies is what my grandad call Eccles cakes, He was Chester born & breed. So must be a northwest saying.
Home Bargains ( next door to the swimming baths) sell Chorley Cakes, less than £2
Great video Kieran, I feel peckesh so I'm going to make myself a home made Chorley cake, with a Lancashire oven bottom muffin, buttered, some sultanas and honey. Keep bimbling.
You could have called in at Heskin and seen the church that was built by your favourite church builder.
That saint Laurence church was absolutely a stunning building great nimble as well Kieran 👍 well done
Great Bimble – we didn't say Fly Pies – we called them Fly Cemeteries 😱
'Fly Pie'. 🤣We also used that in Lymm. I think it was applied to Garibaldi biscuits too, although Google says they have been called flies' graveyards and that, my wife recalls, was a name given to a Currant Pie served at school.
Another good video Kieran them Chorley Cakes look nice next time when I go Chorley I’ll give them cakes a try 😁👍
Just realised. I was one of the guys who bumped into you at Earlestown station. You have the same speech pattern and cadence as a guy I watch on Scottish history, in your voice. He does the Scottish History Tours channel
Another entertaining video I like best butter on my chorley cakes .delicious. keep up with the bimbles. 😊
👍👍👍
growing up around St Helens we called anything with currants in "fly pie"
Nothing wrong with Pat's (where you bought the Chorley cakes), but if you'd gone to Handley's, also on the market, they sell them singly and they are very good. As others have said, they are usually eaten buttered.
I was looking at buying a small piece of land once on Wigan lane in Chorley backing on to the golf club. There were all sorts of rules. The golf club there used to be owned by Myles Standish, one of the selected passengers on the Mayflower which sailed to Virginia and founded the U.S. settlement for the pilgrims. To get on the Mayflower you had to donate timber in order for the ship to be built. So, parts of The Mayflower were built using timber from Chorley golf club. They found roman stuff on Wigan Lane too. Also Cromwell marched from there down Wigan lane (the battle of Standish) and then marched on through Ince to Newton-le-willows to fight the battle of Winwick. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myles_Standish
Great video Kieran. However I prefer the taste of the Eccles Cake over the Chorley cake though the flaky pastry means I usually end up covered in crumbs.
I like Booths because they got rid of those self service bloody tills 🙏
Go this way to Southport from Atherton via m61 ,Chorley is a lovely town.
Yes "dead fly cakes" my missus called them
Maybe that was Eccles cakes. Never had a chorley cake. You live and learn.
Not only in St Helens are they called fly pie, it's a Lancashire name more than likely, taste bestter with butter on! Keiran.
Fly pie (with custard). Early 1960s Clifton, Nottingham School dinners pudding. 😂
what a great video . i was born in chorley and lived around the area , swan with two necks was really busy in the 80s . thank you
They make less crumbs than Eccles cakes.😊
Eccles cakes were always called fly pies in our family when I was growing up in Liverpool
you need to butter a Chorley cake. The Swan with two Necks was only opened in the 1980s it is not really an old pub……
How lucky Chorley is to have a vibrant town centre and what looks like a smashing market.
I like to enjoy a Chorley cake with hot custard.
Thanks for posting, new subscriber here.
In Manchester in the 60's we called them dead fly pies. Love your video!
Does Mr bimble still live in newton
Fancy putting that fiver in your mouth! There would be enough bacteria to kill a Hippo😂😂😂🎥🚴♂️
I was brought up on sad cakes. Mum was born and brought up in Blackburn, I grew up in St Annes on Sea and now live in Warrington. Slice of sad cake with cream…… Memories thanks Kieran
