The Worst Journey in the WorldAspley Cherry Garrard was the youngest member of the Scott Polar Expedition when he and two others lost their tent to the winds of a night-time snowstorm. They spent hours in temperatures below -70°F stumbling about the ice floes hoping they'd bump into it as it was their only hope of survival.
OK, so that was bad, but we reckon you've had worse. We know how hard you lot are.

wet west countryFrom the age of six, we had a family holiday somewhere in the west country ( god knows why...we only lived 20 minutes from the sea in Norfolk!)
We always seemed to leave home in the middle of the night ( to avoid the rush...Dad said) and always got stuck in the most horrendous traffic jam.
For three years running I managed to disgrace myself by wetting my knickers in the back of the car.
We always had to stop at the same service station for me to be hauled off and get changed into dry clothes
My sister who was two years older used to love this, especially as by the third year, I had to sit on a towel on top of a bin liner.
can remember fuck all about the rest of the holiday!!!
happy days?
