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'

    • UK to strip back procurement rules to focus on job creation, says Louise Haigh https://www.ft.com/content/9878a2e4-3ac5-43b0-b2c9-b1fe1a4b65e7?syn-25a6b1a6=1   Burnham is not serious about tackling climate change. Having conditions on govt contractors is one of the easiest ways to drive standards and behaviour.

    • What is too old for Leeds Fest now ?  I'm going to the Fontaines Saturday in a few weeks at 54 !!!  I may be the oldest there 🙂    Wythenshawe may be an option for WA.
    • Pretty much all festivals lose out on major artists because of production limitations though. Glastonbury is no different to most other festivals.  Lots of acts can/will adapt their tour production to suit festival stages if they want to play them, but some acts with stage designs and routines just don't want to adapt, and would rather just stick with a rigid, well-rehearsed production and take the money for their own gigs, whether that's a lot more than playing Glastonbury, or slightly less than playing some other festivals (but with added complications). Trying to adapt the stage, layout, access to b-stages etc to accommodate a single headliner on a Friday and then having to change it all around for a Saturday headliner isn't really a goer when most headliners can just easily adapt their show to stay on a main stage, if they're so inclined. They have a year to figure out how to perform a song on a main stage and ditch a few dance routines out on a b-stage if they really put their mind to it. It's not that difficult......
    • I would be all over Wolf Alice but may have outgrown this venue.    Also have to consider the schedule they have been on this year so may be on a break.  This last 10 days alone they did Tramlines, New York, Chicago and Kendal Calling.  Although make hay while the sun shines may come into play.
