I’ve had my cake and have eaten in more times than I can remember, simply go into the cake shop, purchase said item, remove from paper bag an scoff down. you can also use the paper bag to wipe any mess up afterwards

I think the essence of the proverb is that one cannot retain the cake ready for eating whilst also scoffing it.

Hmmm.

8 years of unnecessary and expensive legal fees funded by Northern Ireland's Equality Commission, so indirectly funded by the taxpayer. He should be made to pay both side's costs.

Ridiculous it ever got near court, if the shop don't want to bake the cake they don't want to bake it, you can't force a business to take on custom, even an overly religious intolerant one.

They accepted his order, took his money and then changed their minds.

If someone tries to rob you by trying to sell you a warranty for a washing machine you dont have must you give them your bank details to avoid offending them ?

It’s a shit cake design in any case… I’d have refused it on the basic that it was an artist abomination.

Were Bert and Ernie gay?

Isn't owning a cake shop and making birthday cakes a bit gay anyway? It's a shame for Bert and Ernie if they're not gay, they've been royally mugged off.

I’ve no idea… but my guess is they were probably about as gay as Eric and Ernie..

And that raises a whole new question… Could Bert and Ernie sue the Gay Cake Man for defamation??

Yes you therefore “had” your cake ..past tense and no longer ”have” your cake..present tense because you have eaten it…..

just buy two pieces of cake would be my answer
