Blue Riband record is 3days 12 hrs which is west bound

Eastbound record is 3 days 10 hours

A fast cat has done it in 2 days 20 hours

Bransons specialised speed boat crossing was less but took him two attempts and didn't qualify for the blue riband record as it wasn't a passenger craft.

Having a ship available in the right place at the right time to make the crossing might be the problem. Most fast pleasure boats wouldn't have the range.

I read part of a newspaper article yesterday where Mumford & Sons were described as 'The Wurzels with a degree'. Bit unfair on The Wurzels but it made me chuckle a bit.

Well I just had a quick look at their website (uurgh) and they're still listing upcoming shows (with tickets on sale where appropriate), the first of which is Glastonbury :(

Couldn't help thinking that any number of people from this forum could have posted this comment from their news thread:

'Oh I am so glad that Ted is back home again! Cancel all the shows you need to, boys, just get our Teddy all better. Don’t worry about the shows, your totally right to take your time and all us REAL fans understand completely. There’s no rush, “we will wait, we will wait for you” until Ted is ready to join you again :D'

    • There is a chance that Norton's reaction was very much like our reaction, because people in this country tend to think 'big = Glastonbury'.   Having said that, though, I'm fairly sure they've gone for her again this time, and it's broken down. Whether it's only just broken down or not, I'm not sure, but I'd air on the side of - they thought they had her, up to a certain point.
    • Yeah, I did wonder if they might be getting too big for Piece Hall now. Wet Leg did Castlefield this year and were subbing them at Tramlines. Wishful thinking! I'd happily see them do another outdoor headline in the north of England, wherever it might be (except R+L, which I'm def too old for now 😂)
    • You've certainly got a bunch of American acts who absolutely adore the festival and are willing to bring peanuts for it. You can never discount The Killers on that basis.
    • Law unto herself, Madge. But I think, for a certain generation, Hyde Park still has a touch of mystery and magic - that and Wembley Stadium.
    • I personally think Glasto big slots mean more to British artists that American ones don't (except Rodrigo, Killers, Foo Fighters) - in recent years anyway. The chance to pay (for a lot more money) to more of her own fans for 3 nights at BST must be more appealing to Madonna.
