I’ve also missed off The People’s Kitchen from this list. Never knew it started out as a Plymouth Brethren chapel. For those not familiar with these mentalists, they were/are basically an extreme Puritan cult. For most of my life I grew up believing that my paternal Grandad had only one younger brother. Turns out he was the second youngest of five, the elder three siblings before him joined the Brethren, and because he and his brother Nicky didn’t, they were cut off from the family. My brother and I only found out while we were doing our family tree thing. The eldest sibling was his sister. When we found out about them my daughter was about 5yrs old and I was mildly freaked out to discover that we’d given her the exact same name, first middle and surname, as the then eldest sister Also, my Grandad was a wind-up merchant and would jovially wave and greet his Brethren brothers every time he saw them, knowing they’d get in bother if they replied We got in touch with the daughter of one of his brothers, who left the Brethren at the first opportunity, and she told us her father was the caretaker of the local chapel and as such was given a bungalow to live in - in his late 70s, his wife passed away and he was seen not long after having a cigarette at her graveside by a Brethren, and duly reported. The first she knew about this was when her elder sister, who was deep in to the whole cult, dropped him off at her door with a bag of clothes and a note saying he’d been booted out and lost his home, and was persona non grata to the Brethren now. Fucking horrible lunatics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
