Pie Thief Threatens Championship

You would have thought they'd have better security than that - this is a World Championship!

clipped from www.ananova.com The world pie eating championships were thrown into chaos - after one of the organiser's dogs woofed the lot. Dave Williams's pet Charlie ate at least ten pies that had been made for the event, today, in Wigan, reports the Daily Mirror. Mr Williams, 57, who won the event in 1995, was looking after the tournament pies at his Preston home for safe-keeping. He said: "Charlie likes pies, being a Wigan dog, so he probably thought they were for him. I only turned my back for 10 minutes and they'd gone. I was horrified." Piemaster Rob Stewart, of makers Wigan Pies, said: "We'll be working through the night to replace them, of course. This unfortunate incident won't jeopardise the championships."
