You’re getting confused. The Arun is the second fastest flowing river in England.

I now think I must have been recalling one of my many other visits to Peterborough. For the match played on snow, I took a girlfriend with me (fortunately she had the sense to bring a big hot flask!) and we took up a position against the wall behind the goal, so didn't experience much of a crush. The coldest I have ever been at an afternoon match though, with only the layer of snow preventing the pitch from freezing.

I seem to well recall the second Peterborough goal hitting a lump of ice and bouncing over Perry D. I was sitting in the stand and cared not for the result by mid-way through the second half. I just wanted to go home. My feet were frozen.

I knew Sweden had a number of islands (e.g. Stockholm is made up of a collection of them) but had no idea there were quite so many. Obvs some will be very small (and some far away)...

 

[Petunia]

This still totally blows my mind

I'm surprised it's not bigger to be honest.

That'll be that pesky Mercator projection messing with my perceptions again.
