Brooke Bond - PG Tips Tea Collectors Cards

"A typical English eccentric - Mad Jack Fuller was the Squire of Brightling Park East Sussex. At 22 stone he was a larger than life character - loved eating - drinking and talking loudly - and had a heart of gold! He built a weird and wonderful collection of buildings - but the strangest of all is his 25-foot high pyramid tomb in Brightling church- yard. He died in 1834 - and one tale handed down is that he was buried at a fully set dinner table with a bottle of claret at hand - dressed for dinner and wearing a top hat!

Now that's what I call style - Kevin!"
