CROWDS of people turned out to cheer on a man as he pushed a pea with his nose through Peterborough city centre in the pouring rain.
Organisers of the charity fund-raiser had estimated that it would take Philip Stephenson about three hours to roll the chick pea from The Broadway Theatre, in Broadway, to the Guildhall, in Cathedral Square.
But the former homeless convict, who says he has had his life turned around by Christian United People (CUP), managed to complete the arduous task in half the time.
The quirky challenge was staged to raise cash for a new refuge centre in the city centre. Organisers are trying to raise �45,000 to get it up and running."
