Ive just been reading the Kent Online Mercury site and I see Graham Tutthill has a story up there about a 26 year old Irish girl who has just swum the channel in both directions. Not only was she content to swim from here to France, but the mad girl clearly didnt have the return ferry fare, so swam back again at once. Well I never! She has a degree in computer science so clearly worked it all out beforehand and weighed up the pros and cons on her laptop. As a fellow citizen of the Republic I take my hat off to her so I do.
The currents were bad on the way back and she eventually arrived ashore beyond Dungeness. Gawd if only The White Horse pub was open I would probably, I say probably as one cant rush into unhindered expense, I would probably buy her a drink and make sure her name adorned the faded yellowing wall of fame.
Of course the Brits and the Americans can only swim it one way and this probably requires a strong tail wind and a 14 launch support team!!!
Gosh! Ive just noticed this is post number 28888..is that lucky!? its lucky in China!
