A Mitcham man says he will not be eating all the pies despite winning a month's supply of the popular snack.
Nick Habershon, 27, of Ashbourne Road, won the "spot-the-pie" competition in The Times after finding a hidden image of a pie in the paper.
"I'd never won anything before so I was just really surprised," he said. "I don't normally enter competitions but I noticed there were tickets for the Rugby World Cup final up for grabs, as well as this pie competition, so I entered both."
To ensure he will not turn into a porker, Nick has promised to share his winnings with workmates. And he might not have won a trip to the big match but still reckons his prize is a slice of heaven.
"It would have been nice to go to Paris but I can't complain. I just wonder if I can get through the whole lot of pies. Maybe I could pack in one a day."
However, he could end up eating pie of the humble variety if he serves up his prize as a romantic meal.
"My girlfriend can't stand them! I'm sure she'll enjoy a meal of pies as a one off but if it's every day for the rest of the month it might not go down so well," he said.
