From a tiny sweet shop in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent during the 19th Century, our great-grandfather Edward Joseph began making toffee for a handful of local customers.
Using only the finest ingredients he created a unique recipe which is still used today. Toffee prepared to this recipe has made Walkers a favourite for over 125 years.
This isn't the first time - and it certainly won't be the last time - we chat about the weird names that some items of clothing have. We've mentioned things like jumpers and sweaters, and questioned why they're called those things, when they certainly don't jump or sweat, respectively. Don't even get us started on clothes like clam diggers and pedal pushers. Seriously, who digs for clams? Where is this beach where people are doing so?
When it comes to shoes, the names get a little simpler. Like, you get hiking boots (for hiking), running shoes (for running) and tennis shoes (do we need to say it?) Of course, you then get sneakers, and we simply can't help but wonder where they're sneaking to? Well, if they're anything like our deal on these Japan S sneakers from ASICS, hopefully they'll be sneaking into your cart ASAP!
