Way back when
Yeah but no but right Smelly and Skinny have known each other since they was four so shutup!
Reinstating an ancient custom
There was in Preston at this time (1798) a Club, exclusively for gentlemen, with the odd title of the Oyster
and Parched Pea Club. Its members, who were among the town's leading citizens, met weekly at each other's houses. The Club
had many officers, such as Cellarius, who had to provide port of the first quality; Oystericus, who was in charge of the oysters;
a Clerk of the Peas, an office always held by a member of the Gorst family, and a Rhymesmith.
