The British Thong Society: Henrietta His Birmingham

Henrietta His Birmingham

Henrietta Tarbuck reached Birmingham today but has admitted her walk is much harder than she expected. 'The thong is holding up well,' she told us by telephone, 'but my father is already on his third pair of underpants. It really does go to show that when it comes to hard wearing underwear, you really can't go wrong with something that fits tightly between your cheeks.'

The trek began at Land's End in January and though she had been delayed, Herietta believes she will finish her walk before the end of next month.

Our Founder

Sir Henry Peel was one of the greatest minds of the late Victorian age. He was an explorer, discovering some of the remotest tribes of South America, and travelled widely in the East, including China and Japan where he was one of the earliest Europeans to adopt the wearing of the fundoshi.

Returning to England, Sir Henry became a philanthropist, eventually setting up The British Thong Society.

His death in 1927 was one of the widely reported events of the decade. Each year at the small family church in Knots End, Surrey, members of the British Thong Society lay a commemorative thong on his grave to mark the very great things Sir Henry achieved and our abiding loyalty to his legacy.
