Melton Mowbray not all about pork pies shocker
Not for me heady celebrity sightings like Kerry Katona puffing Silk Cut outside Iceland, or La Winehouse in Camden brawl. When visiting the historic town of Melton Mowbray yesterday, to meet with a potential client, I came across Anne of Cleves’s house.
Somewhat of a celebrity on the 16th Century social circuit Anne married Henry VIII in 1540, but escaped with her head after the marriage was annulled seven months later. The Heather Mills of her times, Anne got out with a stupendous property portfolio including the very lovely Melton Mowbray house. An example to us all! And yes, this does beat last month's Chico love-in.

Yeah yeah whatever, didja bring us back a pie then?!
The other claim to fame Melton Mowbray once had (not sure if it still does, it's been years since I visited) is that it's the home of Pedigree Chum! I was always slightly concerned about pork pies and Pedigree Chum being made in such a small proximity!!
