FlonkNews: Dirty Work in the Dwile-Flonking World

Anybody who has ever watched an episode of Midsomer Murders or Miss Marple

will know that curious crimes and strange goings-on always seem to happen

in quiet little villages.

And as eager teams gathered at the Racehorse pub in the normally sleepy

village of Westhall, near Beccles, for a bank holiday dwile flonking

match, something important was amiss.

The world of dwile flonking, a traditional Norfolk and Suffolk pub sport,

has been rocked by the theft of the gazunder trophy-- so called because it

"goes under the bed"-- being a chamber pot.

Although the weekend's tournament went ahead without a trophy for the

winning team, the gazunder's worried owners were taunted on Wednesday by

the arrival of what seemed to be a ransom note . . . .

Just what I quoted, really.

Or do you mean the note?

"The delivery, which contained a poem entitled 'An Ode to the Dreamers of

Westhall Racehorse' and an up-to-date photo of the pewter chamber pot,

followed a mysterious telephone call to the pub earlier in the week

telling landlady Bella Aldred that the trophy should never have been at

her pub.

"But the poem, which contained such carefully-crafted phrases as 'We

have the pot and rightfully so / Fairly contested 40 long years ago,'

and 'Check the press records from archives past / See that the Blythe

Valley Flonkers never came last,' also revealed the identity of the

trophy thieves.

"The Blythe Valley Flonkers, a team based in nearby Halesworth, claim to

have won the trophy fair and square in August 1968 at the Beccles

championships, where dwile flonking was an annual event."
