Down Your Way

I note that Silverton featured in the 'Down Your Way' page in the Express and Echo last night. Although its good to see the village getting so much recognition in the media lately, this one did have the air of being a bit of a reheated effort in that it again heavily featured Dave Haggett and also, Shane \at The Silverton Inn who featured in the E&E not long ago for his pies. There are, after all, two other pubs in the village. If its pies they are after why no mention of Mike Howe and the range of tasty and economical pies that he produces just outside the village ?. On the other hand it was good to see that the reopened Cabbages and Kings got some publicity. Good also to see some comments from village stalwarts such as Sarah Wigginton and Graham Parnell.

Sadly however, The E&E failed to really get its finger on the pulse of Silverton life by not interviewing a representitive of your soaraway Silvertonia blog without a daily reading of which no real Silvertonian is complete. I am sure that an interview could be arranged for a few nice pints for me, a crate of caramel chocolate for Mrs Frost and a years supply of Bonio's for the dogs on the blog.
