Sir Gilbert Green founded the first bogey restaurant opposite the Preston Guild Hall in 1927 in an attempt to attract some of the mill workers to spend their wakes weeks away from Blackpool. Unfortunately Harry Ramsden opened his famous chippy in the following year and the twin attractions of that and Reginald Dixon on his mighty wurlitzer killed off Preston Bogeys as a snack food until wartime rationing brought them back as a cheap nutitious high protien substitute for pork scratchings

this is very unfair on Preston - since when has it become bogey-eating capital of the universe…???

Ah The Charleton! I liked him as a player but decided that when I started to loose my hair I was never, ever, going to adopt his choice of ‘concealment’.
Well, I did… and I didn’t.

Indeed. Although they never gained any status as national foods such as Eccles Cakes
and Chorley Cakes, the PrestonBogey Cakes were a popular wartime snack for children up t’north

Now that picture would look great on the front cover of The Sun, O.K magazine or maybe even Vogue ! Modern photographic technology can help erase the most disgusting and unpleasant aspect of this photograph! Yes! They can airbrush out his mother!

Vicky? You’ve never picked up a copy of The Sun, and with a furtive look over your shoulder, read a few pages?
