A race to the top

As reported by BBC News, a boy climbing the equivalent of Mount Everest to support a children’s hospice, as we wrote about last month, has now joined a wellknown fundraiser to go up Wales’ highest peak. Oscar Burrow, from Lancaster, and his family are racing Michael Cullen - known as Speedo Mick - up Yr Wyddfa, also known as Snowdon.

The six-year-old is in the process of climbing 12 peaks to match Everest’s 29,030ft (8,849m) height while Mr Cullen has raised more than £800,000 walking the UK in blue swimming trunks. The 58-year-old said he had been “made up” when Oscar’s father asked if his son could join him in climbing the mountain.

Speedo Mick is currently on his final fundraising walk, which will see him walking from John O’Groats to Land’s End, taking in the UK’s three highest peaks on the way, while Oscar is halfway through his 12-peak challenge.

Very Lost In The Post

A letter written in February 1916 has arrived at a flat in south London more than 100 years later, BBC News has reported. The envelope, which has a Bath postmark and a 1d (one old penny) stamp bearing the head of George V, eventually arrived at Finlay Glen’s flat on Hamlet Road, Crystal Palace. “We were obviously pretty surprised and mystified as to how it could have been sat around for more than 100 years,” said Finley, while Royal Mail said it remained ‘uncertain what happened in this instance’. Although under the HYPERLINK “https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ ukpga/2000/26/part/V/crossheading/offences-of-interfering-withthe-mail”Postal Services Act 2000 it can be a crime to open mail not addressed to you Finley said he felt it was “fair game” to open it once he realised it was from 1916, not 2016. “If I’ve committed a crime, I can only apologise,” he added.
