Footy: England beat Scotland 1 – 3, though why they call them friendlies I do not know. Never any love lost there.
Other News: Normal footy is back this weekend. Stoke play Norwich away. I hope someone has told them it’s my birthday so they gotta win!
Middlesex CCC are still managing to make fools of themselves.1st innings against Lancashire they posted 194 all out. Lancs managed 413. Looks like an innings and something defeat.
