A very irreverent look at some of this country's more amusing and bizarre customs, traditions and stories.
So which English town was at war with Russia until the 1960s? Why is the spire on Chesterfield church so crooked, and how did the Blacksmith of Bolsover get the better of the devil?
The answers to these vital questions and so much more can be found in this very funny talk.

Over thirty years spent in the entertainment and heritage industry has furnished Geoff Harris with a wealth of tales that amuse and amaze.
Whether they are stories taken from his life and experiences as a Toastmaster up and down the land, or from his own particular interests in the quirkiness of our country's history and folklore, they all entertain and inform.
A talented and humorous speaker, Geoff currently offers "A Toastmaster's Tales", "Folklore, Folk Tales and Funny Folk", and "The London No-one Tells You About". Each of the talks last anything up to fifty minutes and Geoff is always happy to take questions.
