They expected about a hundred. About 1500 showed up in the small town of Chesham.

Co-existing with other human beings used to be a very common social trait. It's weird to us now, but before the great plague of 2020, people use to "do stuff" without fear of committing a criminal offence. It seems mental now, but you really could do pretty much what you wanted, when you wanted.

Slightly odd seeing yourself at an event from another angle. I was the one from Rickmansworth (it's the next major town down the valley of the River Chess geography fans, so not far at all) What the video fails to convey, but yiu can hear it in his voice, is Alex's suprise/fear/shock at just how many people turned up.

The two Taskmaster sites mentioned were the Town Hall (Impress the Mayor) and Chesham Town FC (score the most impressive goal with this bag/hide this ball Mel Gedoric). The idea was to boost Chesham 's support for that afternoon's FA Cup fixture against Hayes. However when over a thousand extra people turned up, Hayes objected (think they quoted insufficient crowd control, stewards, police etc) and so it all fizzled out after that. Funnily enough earlier I popped into the stationers that featured in the show to warn them that they may have a busy afternoon with Taskers coming to visit.

As someone who has lived in Chesham all my life, I'm shocked I never heard about this. Although describing Chesham as a "small town" when it's got 20,000 people is a bit hilarious.

@redwitch952 жыл бұрын
@@shantayedincsoy1611 Depends on the country - 600k is absolutely a city in the UK, we tend to regard somewhere as a city when it hits about 80k in population. Below 1k, it's a village, and below a 100 is a hamlet. Also keep in mind our towns tend to be far more dense than the US, and we don't separate our housing stock from the commercial areas.
