'Fraid not, we're strictly Mudchute here

Either email the organisers and ask or start a thread and see if any one has the answer ... although they will probably helpfully suggest that you email the organisers.

Actually, I don't remember there being a grandstand at the finish line, I remeber there being people lining the barriers but I wasn't conscious of a huge grandstand. Mind you I was bit tired by that time

'Fair point Loon. I was just worried that all the beer in Chandos would be gone. Luckily it wasn't

TP - that's cos I was too wasted to start working my way thru the chandos supplies! Think it was Barlos, Schmunks, Loon and Becs keeping me on my feet by then lol! Personally I blame Sweetest Thing, after all it was her idea to pop the fizz at 10 to celebrate everyone getting under way

I'm so looking forward to it again this year can anyone tell? Hee hee my one time round the course was a total one off but I do so love being our side of the fence!

Oh, and just a quickie about the grandstand tickets, I have a feeling these may be for golden bond places. When I did flm on a gb place for my company's trust they offered me 2 grandstand tickets as their biggest fundraiser so I'm not sure they're available for non charity places but people will need to check, esp as that was pre-virgin......

Oh, the memories of standing outside Chandos that afternoon

I am often reminded of my bad behaviour that day

Hee hee was it last year we were told off by the landlord? Lol

Yes, for drinking the beer from the supermarket opposite in his pint glasses

Re the grandstand - it's mainly for the sponsors and their guests. I have had family blag their way in in the past

Boing boing

Looks like we missed the spam attack last night ..... shame ... it's not a real thread until it's been spammed

Should we have spam sandwiches at Mudchute? To dunk in our fizz?

Sacco di Noci

Spam fritters!!

Emmy H

10/02/2012 at 10:29

Would it be bad manners of me to refuse the spam fritters/sandwiches in favour of sports drink and a jaffa cake?

Black And Tabby

10/02/2012 at 11:20

Another one who'll pass on the spam fritters. And the sports drink. Do like jaffa cakes though!

No sense of adventure you lot .... I have it on good authority that all the elite athetes have a liquidsed spam fritter mixed with lucozade in all their drinks bottles.

What about the veggie ones?
