English In Use - 'Pie-way Patrol'

A selection of headlines from stories in the news. They use English in a way that you might think is intended to confuse but it's all perfectly clear to the native speaker.

Simple but effective - a Daily Mirror headline on a story that police were called to the A1 road in Markham Moor in Nottinghamshire after a lorry shed its load of cheese and bean pasties produced the headline 'Pie-way Patrol', a play on 'Highway Patrol.'

A pasty at Ginsters costs £1.39, now that's what I call Pie-way Robbery.
