Trivia

Whilst on the Challenge, I had many pleasant chats with a lot of people, but one in particular has been bugging me ever since. Fairly near the end of my walk, on the way from Tarfside to North Water Bridge, Laura and I walked a short way with a group of chaps we’d both bumped into intermittently along the way. I walked and chatted with one of them who was being sponsored on his Challenge, (I think his name was Andy, but I’m rubbish with names) and we were talking about a small market town in Lincolnshire, Louth. We got to talking about well known figures that came from or who had lived there or had connections in the area and I mentioned an actor who crops up all over the place and has recently played a professor in the Harry Potter films, but I couldn’t think of his name (no surprise there then…)

His name came to me in a blinding flash whilst I was in the hotel room at The Park, but of course, the moment had passed and the information was now immaterial. Now, however, I can’t get the name out of my head! I’m hoping that once I’ve declared it out loud, it will leave me alone.

Jim Broadbent.

There you go.

Hopefully, I can happily forget it again now.
