The Last of Britain's Pigeon Fanciers I Pigeon Racing UK
He came, he saw, he conquered the world of pigeon racing. Now, John Randall believes the sport will meet its demise with his generation.
Randall’s initiation into what was once considered Britain’s favourite pastime-turned-profession came during a dull evening in 1958. “My dad used to take me to the pub and sit me outside,” he recalls. “One day, I told him I was bored and he offered to get me some rabbits or pigeons because he knew people who bred them.”
But it wasn’t until 1963 that the enthusiast started racing pigeons. “Once you get into racing, it becomes competitive. Then you start researching and breeding your own babies from the eggs,” Randall says. “You then watch them grow, nurture them to become racing pigeons and push forward.”
In 1967, Randall won his first race and was hooked on the sport. But what was once a promising sport is now in its dying days…

Snail Racing Championships 2024 I Congham, Norfolk
มุมมอง 190หลายเดือนก่อน
Until the 1960s, one of the major highlights of Congham was that it was 10 minutes away from the royal family's country retreat, the Sandringham Estate. The civil parish with a population of 236 in Norfolk, England, left a mark on Britain's wackiest events calendar following the return of a man named Tom Elwes from France - who exported the world's slowest sport to a local village fête.

Nettle Eating Contest 2024 I Bridport, Dorset
มุมมอง 541หลายเดือนก่อน
While most speed eating competitions are criticised for their celebration of gluttony and promotion of food waste as well as eating disorders, the World Nettle Eating Contest at Bridport, West Dorset, aims to outsize the British appetite for a versatile weed-which injects a cocktail of chemicals into the skin upon contact. Participants can only binge on two-foot-long stalks of freshly picked st...

มุมมอง 882หลายเดือนก่อน
Every Spring Bank Holiday, or the last Monday of May, seven-to-nine-pound wheels of Double Gloucester cheese are rolled down Cooper's Hill in Southwest England. Waves of participants follow, quite literally hurling themselves off the 70-degree, ambulance-summoning incline. The first person to reach the bottom of the hill, be it consciously or unconsciously, wins the disc of cheese. Although eme...
