Having stuffed themselves rotten on Christmas day, residents of Windlesham dusted off their wheels for the 40th Anniversary Pram Race this Boxing Day. It’s a four-mile dash around all the village pubs, with racers entered into either the ‘best time’ or ‘best dressed’ category. This year saw over 100 team entries, and some really ingenious outfits/prams which people had clearly gone to a lot of effort to make. Classic. Best described as a fancy dress pub-crawl on speed!

About this blog

The vast majority of posts in this blog are about quirky & eccentric competitions & festivals. I started it in 2006 in France with a competition I’ll never forget. Where contestants battle it out to become the World Champion Pig Squeeler, or ‘Cri du Cochon’. I had little knowledge back then of quite how far my pursuit of these kind of events would lead me. I’ve travelled all over Britain (and occasionally further afield) to capture our curiosities and quirks. There’s nothing uniquely eccentric about the British, you’ll find people all over the world up to all sorts of weird and wonderful activities, but we do have a remarkable capacity to embrace the madness. ‘A Brit Different’ is the book that was born from it, my labour of love! So what next? There’s always something interesting going on, so watch this space, only time will tell!
