Big Al touches judges hearts with his marmalade sausage.

Allan Bennett proudly raises the Champion of Champions cup for the second time when he walked away with Meat Trades Journals top sausage accolade this week.

Allan who runs a family butchers in Wolverhampton 'delighted' judges with his marmalade and pork sausage.

"I said to my son Steven the day before, this marmalade sausage will win. I got the idea a number of years ago, while judging another competition. At first I thought, pork and marmalade? That won't work. But then I thought they're both breakfast favourites, so why not?"

If you want to experience what it s like to be 'delighted by Allan's sausage' visit his shop in Codsall and ask him very nicely.

Robertsons gollywog offered in white.

There are plenty of these reproduction Robertson's golly's out there, but this is the first time I have ever seen a white one. In the true spirit of political correctness I hope that Ebayer currently selling these at £50 a pop will be offering females, gingers and handicapped gollys in the near future.
