You're all aware of the international penny-chuffing competition, are you? This takes place annually at the New Inn in Wedmore in Somerset, where the contestants have to clench three two-pence coins in between the cheeks of their buttocks, then walk, waddle, or hop four yards across the pub before depositing the coins in a pint glass.
