Hi all,

You may be amused to learn where this expedient was first observed.
I was never able to figure out why Messrs. Harris' pork pies always had
two small holes in the crust until I visited their factory where all
became plain. A woman stood on one side of the conveyor as the baked
pies passed by with a 'gun' loaded with meat 'jelly' which she squirted
in one hole until it flowed from the other indicating that the pie was
full.
Just to slither back onto topic I am at long last in the final stages of
a large public dial for Melton Mowbray (home of the famous pork pies of
that name) where it was initially suggested that the horizontal dial and
gnomon might take the form of a large pie with a knife stuck in it.
Fortunately commonsense prevailed.
