Dr Pop is correct for a single named town ...Oslo. I thought it was record on record which makes anazing reading considering we don't now have any real worldbeaters over 1 mile. Coe (Oslo) in July '79, Ovett (Oslo) July '80,then Coe on the 19th Aug '81 (Brussels), Ovett on the 26th in Koblenz then Coe on the 28th in Zurich. Then all quiet till Cram (Oslo) July '85.
