A pea shooter managed to defend his title at the 44th World Pea Shooting Championships in Cambridgeshire.
Rob Bresler, from Haddenham, saw off 61 opponents, the second largest entry in the championship's history, to win the men's title in Witcham.
It is the third year in a row he has won the contest, which started in 1971.
The competition raised £2,500 for Witcham village hall.

My goodness! Those are two huge peas!
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
