COPY OF A LETTER RECEIVED BY B&Q CUSTOMER SERVICES DEPARTMENT
Dear Sir/Madam My congratulations to you on getting a yacht to leave the UK on 28th November 2004, sail 27,354 miles around the world and arrive back 72 days later. Could you please let me know when the kitchen I ordered 96 days ago will be arriving from your warehouse 13 miles away? Yours Sincerely John Roberts |

Calling all bookies! How many times is THIS mail going to travel around the world?? (twice here on this forum already, and I haven't checked the others yet ) Anyway, we know how Ellen trained: Go to any B&Q branch in the land, ask for some item not stocked there and they'll send you to the nearest town. E.g. B&Q Shoreham (my local) sends us to Worthing, Worthing to Brighton, Brighton to Eastbourne, you're off around Britain in no time ... Apologies to all B&Q lovers out there - get a life! |

The BBC just redeemed themselves...A fantastic programme just finished which not only showed all the troubles she had, but also that Ellen has a sense of humour, which made her seem a little less driven! Only a little mind...Where does she get the energy from - I'm tired after an hour racing on a puddle!
