Charitable citizens roll around in gravy for good
The World Gravy Wrestling Championships are a chance to really get your hands dirty for charity.
People will take almost any excuse to strip down and jump into a public wrestling contest. And, if the contest is for a good cause, the crowd you attract will surely be a large one.
That is what charitable revellers have seen for the past 11 years at the World Gravy Wrestling Championships. People get together and throw each other around in big pools of brown gravy, and it is a lot more fun than it sounds.
As the Daily Mail reports: "In order to win this unusual culinary contest, contestants must wrestle in the gravy for two minutes and points are scored for fancy dress, comedy effect, entertainment and wrestling ability."
All funds raised go to a list of charities chosen each year, with one of 2018's main beneficiaries being the East Lancashire Hospice.
