Similarities ? : Hohnbeer-Tutti Men


Who knows the story behind "Hohnbeer" (Hahnenbier) ?












Tutti Frutti in Hungerford

An ancient tradition that once took place across the UK is now only remembered in the town of Hungerford. Tutti Day or Hock Tide takes place every year on the second Tuesday after Easter, when Tuttimen demand kisses and coins in return for oranges.

This year, Tutti Day, also known as Hock Tide or Hock Tuesday, fell on April 21.

During the day, two Tuttimen from Hungerford donned their top hats and morning dresses and set off to collect dues from each inhabitant - a coin from the men and a kiss from the women in return for an orange.

........................................

Children from John O' Gaunt School also joined in the celebrations on Tutti Day

It took us a while to find the Tutti Pole, it's hidden away under the bridge by the river in
Hungerford, and although it's an anomaly among the gift shops and brick-a-back antique
stores, its exterior is cleverly disguised with a collection of old crockery piled high in the
window. In fact, had it not have been for an overly aggressive fleet of ducks which
chased us in its general direction, I suspect, given our navigation skills, that we may
never have found it at all.



STAFF at the Tutti Pole Cafe in Hungerford raised £150 for charity last Friday by wearing pink for the day.
They donned pink t-shirts, ties and wigs as part of national Wear it Pink day to raise money for the Breast Cancer Campaign.
The cafe’s manager, Fiona Hobson, said: “All the staff really enjoyed doing it and were really impressed with how much we raised......
