Flippin' fun
9:05am Wednesday 6th February 2008
Hampshire went flipping crazy yesterday as a number of special events were held across the county to mark Shrove Tuesday.
About 120 children from Norwood, The Crescent and Cherbourg Primary Schools took part in the Eastleigh Baptist Church pancake race.
Afterwards they were invited back to the church for a pancakes and an explanation of what the day is all about.
In Beaulieu the High Street came to a standstill for the second annual Beaulieu Village Pancake event.
Yacht designer Douglas Hind, 40, from Hamble, won the main race and was crowned the village's pancake tosser of the year after flipping a pancake 152 times in one minute. Mr Hind won the prestigious golden frying pan for his pancake-flipping feats.
In Asda at Totton, customers were greeted by the sight of a full-scale pancake relay race taking place in the foyer yesterday morning involving staff and managers from the store and McDonald's restaurant plus local police community support officers.

Some of us like to be reminded that it's not all bad out there.
