The BTS on Radio 4

Listeners to Radio 4 are in for a treat this afternoon. Our own vice chairman, Eliot Barnacle, can be heard discussing the work of the BTS on 'Down Your Way'. Mr. Barnacle, who kindly stepped in last week when Sir Jones was unable to be interviewed due to his recent poor health, talks about a wide range of subjects as the history of the BTS, the health benefits of thongs, and the work we're doing in third world countries.

The programme begins at 2.30pm.

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.
