Rolling your Jaffas

I thought maybe Lombard Street in San Francisco might be a contender for the steepest street in the world, as Diane shows in this post but no, the world's steepest street is in Dunedin, New Zealand. Baldwin Street is made of concrete, as asphalt would just slide down the hill on a hot day. (Do they get hot days in Dunedin? It was cold and wet when we were briefly there) The street is much visited by tourists.

I wonder if your rubbish bin will stay upright when you put it out? Residents of the street have been studied by medical authorities and yes, one of their legs does become longer. (I should have saved that for April Fool's Day)

If you can read The Age online, you can see more photos here, including yoof making the street even weirder by standing at strange angles. 

There is an annual charity fundraiser held in the street, a Jaffa lolly roll competition down the Baldwin Street hill. What great fun. About thirty years ago, Mother and her friend were in town at a cinema and Mother dropped a bag of Jaffas as they were finding their seats. It was a timber floor and Mother caused much disruption as Jaffas rolled down stairs. Did she do it deliberately? I don't know, but quite possibly.  

Go on then, watch a little of the one minute video.
