As you know I live in Cumbria, a large county in England that is next to the country I used to live in, Lancashire. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are MANY greedy people from Lancashire who would resemble Pigs Round A Trough if they were at a buffet BUT.. Cumbrians are something else. The reason for this is their unhealthy appetite for nibbles, pastry and meat products - basically anything that is bad for us, which is why they absolutely love buffets, especially ones they don't have to pay for. Do you know what I mean? Have you seen people (usually, but not always, men) behaving like Pigs Round A Trough at buffets? I remember one year being in a hotel in Calella, Spain and a German guy would have 3 huge helpings of shredded beetroot on his plate every morning. Not a welcome sight when me and my friend Caroline were hung-over from the night before.
