Upperthong! Sounds like something one might discover on a somewhat shy young 
lady in Ayia Napa....

I rather liked some episodes of LOTSW, but the main reason I watched it was 
for the scenery. I was into mountain running (fell running in the UK) at the 
time and had travelled to the UK to race on a number of occasions, but never 
did any races in the Peak District, and with the shape I'm in now, probably 
(well, defintely!) will never do one now.

I used to like the programme but now I find it too predictable and self 
congratulatory. Mind you, I'd like to have a go at the lap.
