Lorna’s Report from Andorra – Day 7

 

The usual pandemonium reigns as teams try to leave the morning after the closing banquet. Forbes is first to set the tone by getting up 50 minutes before his bus leaves at 7-30. Sadly for him, he has forgotten to change his alarm clock to European time and discovers to his dismay that he actually has minus 10 minutes before his bus leaves. Alan tries and fails not to laugh as Forbes has a personal multi-faff, but somehow manages to make it by taxi to town for his connection. The rest of the team minus Lorna who is driving are all packed and ready to go by 9-15 and somehow make it onto the bus.

 

Team Spain are sitting giggling in the lobby at midday as poor Antonio has had to go to the police station to get his car back which was towed away. It's a long walk to Madrid, lads!

 

Team Scotland are staying an extra night and how the Gilles family are still standing, after supporting through thick and thin since last Thursday, is anyone's guess.

 

So! Team England, assume your positions! Alan - averaging 1.3 pizzas a day is not big or clever. Joan - she doesn't bring coals to Newcastle, she takes water to the spa. Chris - Rioja! (as if you couldn't guess). Claire - not really a haircut, more of a sneeze. HPL - will she ever get anything to eat? Forbes - ?!?! Where on earth to start?
