Ewan and Cameron driving their Aunty to drink!
The following day was the Oxted pram race. Having not been initiated into the intricacies of pram racing I thought it would be good to take the boys down to the park to watch. I didn't think anything of seeing a family heading in the same direction with some water pistols. I did start to question the wisdom of my decision at the next road junction where there were half a dozen families fully tooled up with an array of liquid laden weaponry but curiosity urged me on.
We took our places on the sidelines just before the start of the race. It really was quite impressive with dozens of teams bedecked in bizarre costumes. You'll be glad to see I chose not to photograph the team in the Borat mankinis. The basic premise seems to be to get the teams as wet as possible: and it seems the spectators are fair game too as far as the competitors are concerned. So we all got a soaking. Great fun.

International competition from Jamaica...

The fire extinguishers were just cheating!
A Royal presence......
and an Imperial one!
