GRAHAM - the Red Trotter scorched the streets of Lambeth last Sunday his clocked up one hour 50 minutes for the 13-mile half-marathon. Media reactions differed to the flying mole.
The Sun headlined it as 'Reds run amok in Lambeth'. The Next Step screamed: "Socialist Action runs for Knight'.
When asked the reason for his success Graham said: 'It's down to my red document'. A smiling correspondent of the Peking News asked: 'You mean chairman Mao's little red book?' 'No, no, mean chairperson Ken's little red bus pass, and if that bloody 37 had come earlier I would have done an even better time!' His trainer, Colin S, is himself an experienced marathon person -once entered a local hostelry at 5.30 and didn't leave until 2.00am, a feat which so impressed the local constabulary that they gave him a free room for the night. He says he has more like Graham in his stables.
Watching every yard of the running together (well, the first 20 yards anyhow) the Tavern, he told me: 'I shall probably enter the editorial board in the three-day non-stop London to Glasgow run.'
