Imagine for yourself, the spectacle of a group of adults, who, on all fours, are pushing peas with their noses, in a race towards a pint of ale. Roared on hysterically, by another group of adults? That is Pea Pushing!!!! (Not a pretty sight).

Popularity
Pea Pushing contests are normally held at local level. Due to the relatively restricted number of viewing spectators who can be accommodated.

Location
For some unexplainable reason Pea Pushing contests are normally held within a Public House.

Ability
Obvious ability advantages to being a successful pea pusher are, agility and the ability to crawl, and the skill of being to see the end of your nose. (Pub regulars can often be seen training, on their way home after a visit to the pub).

Description
The main rules, common in Pea Pushing contests are; * no grease or foreign matter may be used on the contestants noses. * No blowing of the pea. * No pushing or squashing of another contestants pea into the ground, (unintentionally or other wise). * No placing of foreign matter on the racing surface. Failure to adhere to these rules, results in disqualification. Disqualified contestantants are accompanied from the race arena by the loud chant from the spectators of Cheat Cheat.

Dedication
Race officials consist of; A starter (normally a guest starter). A race umpire, vocally supported by the spectators. Race scrutineer, known as the nose feeler and assisted by his or her assistant who is known as the wiper.

Potential
As a visual sport, Pea pushing will not receive the national or international recognition it deserves, until it is a regularly televised activity. (Forward thinking television companies should perhaps bid for the TV rights now).
