I think most people are familiar with the exclamation of surprise, if not the (alleged) origins*. If anyone is in the Bristol area, specifically Ashton Court on 25 Sept, the 54th Gordon Bennett Cup for gas balloons is taking place. It's the first time this race has taken place in this country. www.gordonbennett2010.com/ * There really was a Gordon Bennett. Whether or not he was the origin of the exclamation is another matter :)) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/6226293.stm -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk
