Giant pumpkin wins prize

A 640lb pumpkin has won a competition in Lancashire.



Gerrard Wright, of Tarleton, won the 2007 All England trophy with his giant specimen, which was 100lbs heavier than last year's winner.

The Mere Brow Giant Pumpkin Competition has been running for 13 years.

According to the BBC Mr Wright said: "There's a lot of local rivalry. You don't tell anyone you've got a big one."

The Mere Brow record is held by a 912lb pumpkin grown by eight-year-old Liam Cupit and James O'Hanlon, 10, in 2004.

I heard it was modelled on your bottom Jami.

Indeed. You could hit someone over the head with it and then eat the evidence.
