When I were a lad, we’d each pick up an engine at the gate to the Three Counties show ground, and then run to Hanley Castle. The last one to arrive had to buy the first two rounds in the Three Kings. We thought we were strong until that time when a couple of serious lads carrying Scammel gearboxes in a race from Welland Steam Gala overtook us. And the next apocryphal story please.
