International Pancake Race - who's winning?

[tell-me-more]

In 2000, after 50 years of the International Pancake Race between Liberal, Kansas, USA, and Olney, Milton Keynes Borough, UK, the score was 26-24 in Liberal's favour.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrove_Tuesday#Sh rove_Tuesday_traditions_in_Britain.2C_Ireland. 2C_and_Australia)

Have we caught up yet?

As of 2002 Liberal had racked up 2 further wins... 28-24

also apparently having had an unbroken winning streak up to 2005... 31-24

thus making the result for 2006 inconsequential to your question.

Hold on, who said Olney was in Milton Keynes borough? MK is a sprawling great new city but it has not YET eaten up Olney which is miles away right up the North end of Bucks, a pretty little place. We who are only 15 miles away from MK are forever looking over our shoulders!

Apologies gardenmad. Didn't realise Olney's inclusion in the Borough was in dispute.

Looks like you could do with some support if the results of the IPR are anything to go by. Sounds like they're battering you.

It's ok, tmm, you don't need to apologise to me, I live in the west end of Buckinghamshire - but I know Olney and as one who is Bucks born and bred (strong in the arm and thick in the head) I have to put right any misconceptions I perceive about this lovely county of mine. Where I live we have our own pancake race, we do not compete with Olney or Liberal but somewhere in Canada I think - I always forget it is on - too busy making pancakes!
