Brown Bread - rhyming slang...
| Related: | Pubs |
In our local pub we have the Brown Bread Club. Members pay £1 per week and each member has a famous person for a month. At the end of the month the famous people move down one member.
If your famous person dies, you win 70% of the pot!
OK, totally sick, or just a bit of fun....?

Not heard of that before , very inventive! Strikes me you could be paying in for an awfully long time before you get a payout...................?
As long as you are given someone who is bordering on a Century you might be in for a pot of gold. Never can tell when the almighty calls for us so enjoy your nights at the club Feline and just hope for the best.
Hoping someone might die so you can win sounds a bit...not quite sure what the right word is...macabre? That said, enjoy the pub nights!
Oh, Jazz, we don't actually hope the people might die! For example, this month I've got Vera Lynn and I certainly don't wish her dead. But, given that everybody has to go sometime, somebody might as well win a nice bit of pocket money.
I think my posting came out a bit wrong Jazzj when I said just hope for the best I didn't mean hoping someone would die. Sorry if it came across like that didn't mean it to x
Bet you're beginning to wish you'd never mentioned this, Sis!! ;-)
Both, Feline! Or maybe...sick if you don't win, and fun if you do! ;-)
Oh how strange Feline, I really can't see me celebrating my winnings at the death of anyone just to get my hands on a few bob ....
I have to smile at the name of the club though.
Feline I'll bet if you had Tony Bliar (not that he is in anyway a celeb) I'd bet you'd volunteer to carry out the misdeed yourself???
Not even a bit of fun, I suggest Feline. Unless you have a Who's Who of the terminally ill!
But what about the Harry Monk Club where you all chip into a pot and one member stands up and shouts 'Is the winner coming tonight' to which another member replies ... 'No, but his eyes are glassing over!'. You then split the proceeds and everyone falls about and gets pi**ed!
Snoops, I can see your imagination is running riot today....!
No, we don't include terminally ill people on the list, that would indeed be in bad taste. Besides, they'd be dying all over the place and the pot wouldn't have a chance to build up to a worthwhile sum to win......

Yes, Jazz, but we don't miss £1 a week and the longer it goes on the bigger the prize money gets!
