Holy Fish N Chips Flashback!?
Putting in the cardio work just now, watching randomly-offered ski content on YouTube....when a 2017 UK tournament appears on screen. Wait...where’s this?!?
Wiremill...NewCastle...?! Well slap my arse and call me Fergie...turns out THAT’s the pond I skied in 1988 while working an assignment in London. My colleagues arranged a farewell party at Wiremill to send me off (and I think too, as a last ditch effort to convince me to stay). Somewhere I have a VHS tape, in PAL format?♂️, of the event including plenty of first-timers loving the experience of what we’re all so giddy about.
Shout out to any Wiremill folks here on BoS!
