Olympic Winner

Olympic winner Rebecca Adlington returned to Mansfield where 15,000 people turned up to congratulate her, and they bought her some gold high-heel shoes worth £450. Brilliant!

But it really shows how the people from Mansfield are tight. That works out at 3p each in a whip-round. How stingy is that?

You see, the thing is, Mansfield is my home town, and to see someone from the same place as me achieve so much and return home for a hero's welcome in an odd feeling.

But don't worry, when I got back I get the same welcome. I look great in those shoes too.
