Very interesting. My mum was a great crimper and I used to ask her to teach me. However, her fingers flew and she couldn't slow down. Yes, the sweet end and the savoury end I knew about. Mum used a dinner plate to cut out the size of her pasties. Never known anyone to eat an entire pastie in a single sitting. As kids, we were permitted to choose which pastie we wanted, ate some for dinner (until we could not eat another crumb), and took the remainder to school for lunch the next day. We loved them hot or cold. My father took these pasties to his workplace and sold them with the money going to the church we attended. Then the men put in "orders" and my mother was flat out making pasties for days on end. Every bench, table and flat surface were covered in pasties and teatowels were spread over them all. No flies on my mum's pasties!!! lol

Yes my grandmother (fathers side) used to make them and sell them at the horse races on a Saturday for some extra money. Yep think the key is making your own pastry, might be a bit more elastic than the bought stuff.
