Street-O Event :
Congratulations
to the multi-faceted Charlie Whetam, Sarah
Covey-Crump and Rachel Holmes for winning their respective sections in the
Kingston “trivial pursuit” street-O competition on March 2nd. Whilst pounding the streets they translated
from Japanese, Hungarian, Finnish and Turkish, they answered questions on
botany, local history, zoology, medicine and sport, and - without recourse to
calculators - they knew the cube root of 125,751,501. The jury is still out however on the winner
of the prize for the worst handwriting.
The organiser apologises both to the competitors for the lack of
illumination by the date stone on the parish hall, and to the surprised local
residents they accosted in trying to find out this information. And, yes, it was Queen Victoria who said
that Surbiton is not and never was a boring suburb!
