[Oblomov]

Based on the furore, that was the Village show Vicroria Sponge contest - including UCM, Slubberdeguillon & others, last month , I thought I would show you this:news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cambridgeshire/6274044.stm
What the eck is going on ere ?

don't know - but lol at the last paragraph

About 11 years ago I entered a show with some fruit scones. I was the only entrant but I came third.

That cake looks fine to me - I'd eat it!

She came third ?
Like, why didn't she come second or fourth ?
