No Neck Club

Nothing to do with pirates


Above: Somebody or other with no neck

THE NO NECK CLUB
From Wiggipedia, the free no nonsense informer

Founded: 1792
Origin: Bexley, South London (via Paris, France)

1st rule of the 'No Neck Club' - You do not talk about the No Neck Club. Err, no hang on that's something else. Try again, 1st rule of the 'No Neck Club' - You don't choose No Neck Club. IT chooses YOU! 2nd rule of 'No Neck Club'...by default.... No Necking...

"Un club pour des personnes sans cous" was formed during the French Revolution in 1792, around the 1st Tuesday in May some time after Croissants and Cafe Creme, by a group of French Aristocrats who found they were unable to put their necks on the line due... mainly to the fact that they didn't have any to put on it. Frustrated revolutionaries, unable to drag them to the guillotine spared the group and exiled them to the south London borough of Bexley.

Members of the group were famed for their notoriously glossy, dandruff free hair. This of course was because they never went anywhere without their Head and Shoulders.

For over two centuries, the group thrived, and these days you will be likely to see members of the NNC in all walks of life (as per picture above).

As recently as 2007 there were still descendants of the founders running the NNC in Bexleyheath at the former Woolwich Building Society 'Head' Quarters.
