Subject: RE: Folklore: Cornish Pasty to be a protected species.
Oi!! According to this site, the sports fans' chant "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie; Oi, Oi, Oi" is far from original: tin-miners' wives would call "Oggie, Oggie, Oggie", down the mine, when the pasties were ready; and miners would recognise that with "Oi, Oi, Oi".

With that as a chorus, I could turn my above poem into a song, I suppose..?
