I'm reminded of a time when I was kid when my entire elementary class let off like 200 helium filled balloons with messages tied to them. Our class got 12 replies back within two weeks from as far as 100 miles away.

Henry Biggelsworth of Bournemouth is a good name. Too good. Most brits would see it and think FAKE. We aren't alone:

We aren't alone: http://www.newsday.com/news/local/longisland/ny-libott0204,0,4466983.story?coll=ny-linews-headlines But if this maroon has been throwing bottles in for years, perhaps a great deal of the "missing" ones *did* end up on the same beach in England and perhaps the owner of that beach decided to teach the old fool a lesson. Judging by the snap, this fellow looks too dim to create a hoax of this magnitude.  _____________________

Bigglesworth is the kind of name all Brits are SUPPOSED to have when seen from overseas, in reality, we don't..
I'm yet to meet a Bigglesworth I have to say. Mights as well have said Mr. Baggins, Bag End, Hobbiton. _____________________
