Let us again delve again into the nostalgic cosiness of the Victorian pantry and have a wander around the high street. Spread the word about which butter's brand name was inspired by a tattoo. How did Imperial Leather and Bristol Cream get their names? Do you know what Dorothy Perkins has in common with Ted Baker and Sara Lee and what has W H Smith got to do with HMS Pinafore? The Parlour Maid knew and after this talk, so will you.
