Still, it can't be worse than (the ancient martial-art of) 'Ecky-Thump'?

Amazing. It's like that thing where folks run down a hill chasing a wheel of cheese territory.

 

[Petrichorwheels]

I suspect that this might be a rather recent invention.

Still, whatever turns people/kinksters on.

I believe that most english of directors Ken Russel once adorned had Ann Margret wrestle baked beans.

(no idea of the brand - personally I favour Lidl economy ones for taste and texture)

Having witnessed the Crawshawbooth Welly Throwing and Ramsbottom Black Pudding Throwing contests, this doesn't surprise me.

And @classic33 ...it's east Lancashire, they do do odd things over there.

.it's east Lancashire, they do do odd things over there.

Which is true Lancashire, well known for our hills, pies, sheep, black puddings, cotton mills, coal mines, tripe, black puddings etc etc. I don't know much about the north of our county, but I do know that the west bit is flat as a pancake and they are up themselves!

Pro-celebrity hotpot hurling.

Cut-backs: Can’t even see any Onion in there. Obviously just a packet mix…….

Todmorden was never solely in Lancashire. It's been a border town for all of it's history.

It's a well known fact... but i think it's solely in Yorkshire these days
