Does anyone remember the poor soul who suffered from Erectile Dysfunction, and must have googled EDF and ended up on here seeking advice? I think he was very gently dealt with sympathetically, but boy that could have gone anywhere...

It peaked with 75 "runners" and lots of spectators. Thankfully no serious injuries. Folks moved away and I suppose life got in the way. I will have an enduring memory of an avocado running down Barry Road, and the large spill out of folks from the Clock house onto the road. Fun times, and on paper easier than it actually is to do!
