...but I've met Jack, Straw, jazzy! (I've also been part of a team pushing a bed from Cambridge to the pub Jack Straw's Castle on Hampstead Heath)

The things you got up to, Chris ! :0)

That is over 58 miles isn't it ?

About that jazzy. It was an inter-college race. We had a van and a team of 7 or 8 pushers, taking turns, as I remember. We started late night and arrived early in the morning.

That is amazing ! We got up to all sorts of silly pranks at college, one was hauling an old bathtub on wheels, (with one of the male students inside) collecing for charity, but we only walked a few miles.
