Tales of everyday life in the coastal village of Amble Bay

Thanks for coming, we were a team member short. James lost his memory and can’t remember where he left it. Welcome to Team Extreme!  You've met Arthur, he knows farming,  George knows legal stuff, and  Rosemary’s a teacher. What’s your specialist subject? Nothing? Ok. Well, I am a walking talking dictionary.

Dan’s perched on a beer crate, microphone in one hand, a spoon in the other. He’s tapping a wine glass. No-one’s noticed.

Dan, tap it harder!

Whoops! Breaking glass always attracts attention.

Here comes the first question. Spell necessary. Simple!  It’s  2 C’s and 1 S. No, 2 C’s and 2 S's. Mmmm. That looks right. Next!

Question two is even easier.

No Arthur, not Broom and Brim. Name two 'birds' starting P and ending N, not two 'words' starting B and ending M!

I’ll write down Pidgeon and Penguin.

Question twenty. Mmm, not sure about this. ‘Bored’ did you say? I don’t think that’s right. Oh you mean you are bored! Not long to go. By the way, I think Tricky Dicky’s team is cheating. Look, he’s got his phone on his lap. I think he’s Googling. Tut tut.

That’s it, now the results. Wake up Arthur.

Wake up Arthur!

I predict we got thirty correct, eight almost, and a couple of wrong'ens. What? We came last? Tricky Dicky’s mob won? I demand a recount!

Tomorrow we are taking a ramble along the coastal path. Don't forget your walking boots!
