Trangia competition

[Marts]

I've got a trangia sitting in my place that I never use. So who'd like to win one

Simple question. First one to post the correct answer wins it. I'm happy to cover the postage anywhere in the UK, but would rather not post it to Sweden as you must be able to buy them over there for cheaper than I can post it!


What year was Trangia founded?

 

[Levi]

Google says 1925.

 

[Bhod]

Trangia was founded in 1925 by John E. Jonsson.

That didn't take long (Note to self: Harder un-googleable question next time)

PM me your address Levi and I'll send it on over.

Just like to say thanks for putting on this comp, and even offering to pay postage out of your own pocket!

PM sent.

It makes me smile how pre-internet this competion would have lasted maybe a couple of day or at least a couple of hours.

Google rules

Very true. Funnily enough my father is still internet-illiterate. He and my stepmother enter loads of travel competitions and usually about the middle of the month they contact me, having spent weeks searching for the answer in libraries and other places. I have become the son-with-the-power-of-google-at-his-fingertips. It usually takes me a couple of minutes.
I have asked him why he doesn't just ask me in the first place, but I think he believes it's very taxing for me to call upon the sacred power of the internet or somesuch..

It's in this evening's post to you Levi. Let me know it arrives safe and I hope you get some good use out of it. (And not just for cooking your supernoodles student )

I'll say 1924, it took a while for for him to work out what had been invented.
