Fart club

[History | Link | Print]

We think our popular culture is as crass as it comes, but in 18th century London, in Cripplegate, there was a fart club, where, as Kenneth Baker says, "the members met once a month to give of their best." The much-maligned Victorian Age was the great cleansing of British culture, which was inspired in significant measure by the Evangelical revival.
