Been thinking about this...

I propose you all grab a carry bag (hoe, turnip or whatever other item you consider important) and begin running towards Wales tomorrow morning at 9am.

When you get to LLanFairPG, turn right around and run back to London.

As soon as you can see Big Ben, turn abruptly and run back to LLPG.

Now by my Einstonic reckoning, this should create a wave... which after about 35.3 days will have reached us...

Our land is that parched, that it will offer a SpongeBobSquarePants effect, so there will be no rip tide, and we will effectively lower your sea levels for about 30 years (give or take an icemelt or two). Our coastal regions and waterways have developed to counter the sudden dispersion of sea water, so we are happy to take it on. Nev has mates in high places, so he'll be fine down there. Actually, the timing is perfect, because he can just climb up the rope ladder and hang with Santa for a day or too on the roof. No worries.

*dusts hands off*

Right. Next problem? :king:
