As an added bonus, a pork pie to the first person who can name the film where the main character has a similar mission to that in my effort.

From which bakers? Not all pork pies are created equal(ly fattening and tasty)

Ah, the wonders of a good computer tool! I can now translate Victoria's diabolically clever reviews.

@Abernovo .... Dirty .... Abe lets us in on a secret. ---- Be careful who you trust. And what your favorite sin is, because they can work together against you.

@RJM Corbet .... STRAIGHT SHOT .... RJ leaves me convinced that's there's depths to this story that are dangling beyond my admittedly short mental reach.

@M. Robert Gibson .... You must mean "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" as was mentioned up thread and then changed by @dannymcg

Pork pies don't like me, give me terrible indigestion.

 

[M. Robert Gibson]

@Graymalkin That be Tom and Colin, the well known time travelling Bakers.

@dannymcg @Parson possibly, but the one I'm referring to is much more iconic

Not really, Parson: hot day, cold beer, is pretty much it, lol

Thank you ...

Thank you, @Parson.
I would say more, but you never know who's listening (or reading)....

007: Live and Let Drive, @Starbeast – This rich, rollicking spy tale, ‘pun-ctutated’ with references to a certain famous franchise shows what can happen when you’re driven to drink.

Thanks for the Review and HINT

Using 007, I had to enter the fray quickly, but I know he'll still be a popular choice.

Anyway. I like ciphers, but I haven't done one in a while. I'll have to fire up my "Mr Gumby" brain.

Got it! 45min. No computer. Just pen and paper. ULHJK CKS FEPUKIEH DEMFWI?KMG

PS: You made a spelling mistake: WFWICOKQC should read WFWICOKQW? MKM (= LOL)

@nixie
There's always the famous Yorkshire austerity pie ...

Okay, I've exorcised my pie issues. Thanks for the accommodation.

Is there another way to solve them without pen paper?

 

[nixie]

I'll stick to the scotch pie, Yorkshire puddings don't really appeal.

 

[Parson]

@RJM Corbet .... Interestingly I can translate Virginia's cryptogram, but your's I cannot. I wonder if you got it right?

@nixie .... solved with a computer no pens or papers ruined.

Edit: After pen and paper and 20 minutes I understand what RJM did. But I can't see that Victoria made any spelling mistake.

Pah, exorcised your pie issues.

You're obviously unaware of the fine sport of Pie Flinging that was erstwhile reported in these hallowed threads in the past.

If you think a mere picture of a Yorkshire pudding even comes close to the traditions that have been established on this site, you are sadly mistaken young pudawan

Though as I understand it, pud flinging was the reason that that shire produced so many good cricketers in the past. As you will probably know, aged Yorkshires were first used as replacement Corky’s in the Napoleonic wars due the French blockading the Portuguese export of cork.

 

[Graymalkin]

young pudawan

Ah yes. Long summer evenings in the dales. The sound of batter against willow ... heavenly.
