The Kippers are in fact, absolutely genuine. It just goes to show the diversity of british culture that some people can find Trunch traditions too peculiar to warrant credance. No, the Kipper family are the real McCoy. And Trunch exists, 'cos I've been there. It's true though. The locals deny all knowledge of st. just near trunch, and the Goat Inn isn't actually called that anymore...

DO NOT CONFUSE the Kippers with that pack of cheap immitators from Rottingdean, Sussex!
