Edward Elgar and the First Football Chant
This may seem surprising, but it’s reported in the local paper.
Bad Dog Owners
Some work done by I think the Metropolitan Police showed that if they stopped a car with no Road Tax, insurance or MOT, then there was a fifty percent chance that the occupants of the car were committing or had committed another non-motoring offence.
I wonder if similar research has been done into the owners of hard-looking dogs, when they walk around the streets, giving a message, that we don’t want to see!
I suspect, it would show similar results to the cars.
A Good Phrase
Rahul Tandon was on the BBC this morning talking about the Commonwealth Games in Delhi. He used a Hindi phrase “Athithi Devo Bhav”, which he translated as “We treat our guests like God”
It all fits with my experience of India, where I’ve never had anything but good service.
Let’s hope they sort the Games out!
Backing for Lighter Evenings
I have always believed that we should be on Central European Time for reasons of business with Europe and to give more light in the evening.
Now it would appear from this article, that major sporting bodies including the FA and the ECB are backing the proposals of the Lighter Later Campaign, which will culminate in a Private Member’s Bill in the House of Commons on December 3rd.
I doubt it’ll be accepted as it will mean we’re on Central European Time, which is a no-no to many MPs.
