The only possible way would be to have an identical stopwatch running for an extra hour or so, and present THAT one to the Swedes at the end of the day...

But WE will supply the stopwatch so any false stopwatch would be very obvious to us!Crunchy wrote:The only possible way would be to have an identical stopwatch running for an extra hour or so, and present THAT one to the Swedes at the end of the day...
Not presenting any stopwatch would a problem for us though...

A certain "********" springs to mind as a good example of how NOT to be British.
And on a side note, Beckham may have kicked out but Diego Simeone fell over as if he'd just been hit by a tube train.

No. Only way would be to buy 3 or 4 identical stopwatches, and start them 10, 20, 30 and 40 minutes earlier than the main one. But you'd need to know exactly what stopwatch they're going to bring along. All in all, probably not worth the efforttubeguru wrote:Exactly. Which won't match their own stopwatches and so they'll smell a rat.
So it's not going to be easy for me to cheat them of a time is it?

I believe current rules state that it finishes when all the challengers ar eon the platform at the final station.
It used to be "start when first train moves, finish when last train doors open", but now it's "start when first train doors close, finish when everyone's off the last train". I think.

Speaking of wonderful GWR:
The rules, allegedly from March -05 states that "British Rail" can be used as a substitute for tube on certain segments. Does BR even exist?
They also state clearly that the W&C is NOT INCLUDED in the challenge (seems to date back to the last century). The profound implications of this are somewhat foggy to me, since both Waterloo & Bank clearly must be visiteded...
(Note that I'm intentionally not mentioning that other thing about "geographically separate stations")
