Add a silver to their tally for Lizzie Armitstead and Otley aren't doing too bad on their own, got one of each colour now



My daughter works in a hotel that does some sort of sponsorship deal with the Brownlees and she sees a lot of them in the bar and reception, they've had another triathelete training with them in the last couple of months too, he was staying at the hotel - she's waiting for them all to come back so she can have a photo taken with the medals

When I lived on the East Coast we used to love the annual event of the Wessies floating out to sea on lilo's and having to be rescued by a Sea King from Leconfield.

You can float out to sea from the Withernsea/Hornsea coast just by lying on a lilo on a cliff top for more than three hours.

The excuse "But officer, I fell asleep 50 yards from the cliff top and when I woke up I was in the sea" just won't work.

I was expecting a bigger bite than that McF.

...or, "I was lying asleep in my hotel room when I was awoken by these kind men from the Flamborough Lifeboat informing me that it was illegal to sail a hotel bed in the middle of a shipping lane without lights or radio"...

"Flamborough? I went to sleep in bloody Driffield"
