For info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poohsticks “Poohsticks is a game first mentioned in The House at Pooh Corner, a Winnie-the-Pooh book by A.A. Milne. It is a simple game which may be played on any bridge over running water; each player drops a stick on the upstream side of a bridge and the one whose stick first appears on the downstream side is the winner. The annual World Poohsticks Championships have been held at Day's Lock on the River Thames in the UK since 1984.” I first heard of it in the Haven TV series. I had to then look it up lol It’s an actual game from the book. Any of you played it? While I lived in the country, we had farmland & only a little creek. Anybody from the UK been to the World Poohsticks Championships? Will tag kyng for this one

T.T., Bob, demonskeith, Thank you for your replies! & I can see how "Pooh" can have a different meaning other than Winnie

Emerald, Steve, Interesting! It's a game out there but I only heard of it on a TV show. I think I would think of Winnie the Pooh over the number 2 version though lol
