Are you getting confused with Aunt Bessie's which are made in Hull They could have been Aunt Bessie's, but many years ago the ones we bought were definitely "made in Leeds". Coming from Leeds I was amazed to find the puddings in the local supermarket.

Maybe they started off in Leeds

"Roberts" made frozen yorkshire puddings at a factory on Midland road in Hunslet until the factory burnt out a few years back.

What about Lynx deodorant? (Or 'Axe', if you're viewing from Europe)?Made at the Elida Faberge factory on Coal Road?It always amuses me that it appears to be cheaper for them to truck the empty aerosol cans in from Eastern Europe and fill them with the seductive scents of Lynx in Leeds rather than source the cans locally.Think of all the delightful children that owe their very existence to the irresistible Lynx aroma, made right here in Leeds

Elida Faberge is now Unilever and there's a safety statement for the Seacroft site over at http://www.unilever.co.uk/safety.aspx complete with samples of what their alarms sound like. There's also a very short local history including a mention of Soapy Joe's in the COMAH safety leaflet at http://www.unilever.co.uk/Images/Unilev ... 260375.pdf
