Getting into the swing of the' Olympic Year' and, as we promised, here is the latest news on the leaning poles of West Norfolk. We think we may have found the winner in only the second round.
Casting an eye over this little leaner we realised that it has eclipsed, by about thirty degrees, the best amongst the lonely poles and is the clear winner of heat two and current West Fen Champion.
The training regime must be quite rigorous because when it goes past the horizontal the final dive will take the electric cables into a dyke full of water. That should be a pyrotechnic display worthy of any opening or closing ceremony.
Meanwhile, not content with resting on our laurels, we will continue our quest to discover the most vertically challenged and lonely pole.
