I love live sport in most cases, and especially football. The atmosphere is variable – it depends on a whole host of things like the state of the game, the number of people in attendance, the weather and the state of the economy.

But I love going to football regardless of the atmosphere.

Watching it on the television though needs a crowd in the stadium to make it work. Which is why I can’t understand the prices being charged.

sensible pricing leads to larger crowds and better atmosphere.

flags and stuff help but not as much as good banter, good people and lots of them.

Scan on a Sunday

GP appointment at 7.30 in the morning.

Non of this demanded – all surprising.

Im not sure it adds too much to my convenience – in some ways appointments on a Sunday throw your weekend out of kilter.

All routine stuff – all rapidly and efficiently done with a smile.

The only time I don’t feel happy about the NHS is when I see politicians trying to shred it into pieces for the benefit of corporations…
