    Sponsored swim to Bristol! Archived Message

    Ok...the results weren’t great today....but all being well we’ll return to the league via the play-offs.

    With this in mind, here at Cartier Industries, we’ve already lowered Hampton from the balcony of The Bear Pit into the Mersey to swim to Bristol with the intention of raising enough money for a Cartier Industries advertising hoarding at E.P.

    Despite our hero saying that he cheated his swimming instructor in the 70’s by secretly keeping one foot on the floor as he ‘qualified’ for his 17 yards certificate, I have every faith in him emerging triumphant in Bristol.

    It can’t be that hard...even with his asthma and lack of direction even Hampton can’t go wrong.
    We lowered/dropped him in the river this morning with instructions to just keep going until he gets to the sea then keep land on the left until he gets past Wales and to The Bristol Channel...keep swimming and when he sees the floodlights, get out and join us in the pub!
    What could be easier?

    After a bit of of a false start when the panicked Hampton thrashed about a bit and started to doggy paddle towards Tesco, I sent Oaf on his bike to to shout at him to turn around and face in the correct direction.

    GOD SPEED HAMPTON!
