Geocache Description:

What a Borge of a cache! The coordinates above are not of the cache, but of the Regent Theatre where Victor Borge once performed.

Victor Borge (3 January 1909 – 23 December 2000), was a Danish comedian, conductor and pianist, affectionately known as The Clown Prince of Denmark.

Among Borge's famous routines was his hilarious "Inflationary Language", where he incremented numbers embedded in words, whether they are visible or not.
For example,
 - "once upon a time" becomes "twice upon a time"
 - "wonderful" becomes "twoderful"
 - "tulip" becomes "threelip"
 - "I ate a tenderloin with my fork" becomes "I nine'd an elevenderloin with my five'k"
and so on and so fifth cheeky
 

With this in mind, the coordinates of the cache are S 51° 33.215 E 286° 48.512

Note, the final location is VERY busy at the weekend. Extreme stealth is required!
The cache hide itself is much easier than the previous hide (max of 2 stars?) but I have given it a three star difficulty is a mark of the stealth required! Please do not even bother looking for this cache if you find anyone playing elevennis!
Please approach GZ by the 'open area', not by the neighbour's garden.
