Few people know that there were two clubs violently fighting for hegemony and the best tables in the Eagle and Child pub. Apart from the writers club Inklings (to which J.R.R. Tolkien belonged), there was also the pig farmers club Stinklings. For months, the Inklings would smear the Stinklings tables with black ink, whilst the Stinklings in term greased the Inklings tables with lard and manure. Finally, the pub management had enough and threw them both out. Edith Tolkien had to bribe the pub management with a basket of homegrown ananas from her garden to get them re-admitted.
