Yes, a lot of people would not know or would have forgotten that the Vita-Weat biscuit that you can still buy to this very day was originally a Peek Freans product.
In 1982 at The Oval, a rare and funny cricketing moment was born!
England’s Chris Tavare was batting at such a slow pace against India that the crowd lost patience. One cheeky spectator even walked onto the field with a stool—so Tavare could “sit and relax” between his dot balls!
Though his innings tested the fans’ patience, Tavare went on to score a crucial 75 runs for England. That stool incident is still remembered as one of the most humorous and unforgettable episodes in cricket history.

Good pubs. Absolutely awful beer. Met some great girls at the Brighton.
