LookingForValue Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Bruce Reid's children named him in memory of their father. Originally criminals who were press ganged in to the army deserted and as they still had their uniforms, lived off the free pies from the army buffet in Hyde Park. It was later taken to mean "Don't listen to him, he's just a pie eater". Reid adapted it to refer to athletes who were competing against David, his son. The opposition was overweight and just a pie eater. The threat (his son) "he's no pie eater" Edited June 15, 2021 by LookingForValue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
