I am British and I do not find this funny at all. A Meat and Potato Pie for goodness sake....why couldn't it have been Cod in Batter? Much more aerodynamic in my opinion.

And, what if the pie lands on someone's head on return to earth I doubt they'll think that 'British humour is alive and well'.....what about H&S....or the PM's Trousers?

Launching from Lancashire to land in Yorkshire? This could be seen as a pre-emptive strike that could trigger another War of The Roses.

No wonder those living South of Watford Gap Services think that people living in the North are odd.
