The thick pastry edge was there so that it could be eaten without having to wash your hands first, thus saving the miners time in going up to the surface where the water was.

A half-savoury, half-sweet pasty (similar to the Bedfordshire clanger) was eaten by miners in the 19th Century

A couple attending an art exhibition at the National Gallery were staring at a portrait that had them completely confused.
The painting depicted three very black and totally naked men sitting on a bench.Two of the figures had black penises, but the one in the middle had a pink penis.
The curator of the gallery realized that they were having trouble interpreting the painting and offered his assessment.
He went on for nearly half an hour explaining how it depicted the sexual emasculation of African- Americans in a predominating white patriarchal society.
In fact he pointed out, some serious critics believe that the pink penis also reflects the cultural and sociological oppression experienced by gay men in contemporary society.
After he left a Scottish man approached the couple and said.
" Would you like to know what the painting is really about?"
Now why would you know more that the curator they asked.
Because I'm the one who painted it, he said
There are no Africans at all, they're just three Scottish coal miners.
The guy in the middle went home for lunch...
