I'm quite enjoying "Freddie Flintoff's Field of Dreams " but it irritates me that they keep saying that cricket is the most elitist sport in Britain, just because most of the England team were privately educated. After football, it's probably the sport you're most likely to see people playing in a park or on a beach. All you need is a bat and ball. Every county has dozens of leagues. Almost every village or area has a team.
Rugby Union probably has as many privately educated players as cricket and I would have thought is less accessible.


Must be Polo or Real Tennis or something of that ilk! Maybe Garden Croquet?

Capitals used on purpose because they are so elite!

There's a heating engineer/plumber/general dogsbody 3 doors up the road and he often leaves stuff on his lawn for "recyclers " to collect..
Saves him paying to dump it i suppose....
No issue with that until one of comes round in the loudest, rattling and smoke belching pickup in the world and heaves an old cooker onto the back, making so much noise it must have woken the whole town up...at 4.45am.....
Good job I'm awake ....the Mrs though....o_O

Given the 'attention' ear wax is getting in recent posts... Here's one for you;

I've noticed since I dropped a shed load of weight, I hardly 'produce' any ear wax anymore, is there a link :unsure:
I'm thinking some of you lads must be chunky :p

Bought a new 4k max firestick on Prime day to replace my old firestick.
The WiFi won’t reach the new firestick for some reason, I’ve had to move my wifi extender to another room to get it to connect ?
I would have thought the all singing and dancing new device would have been better specced than the old one ?

Old one might be 2.4ghz WiFi which travels better but lower quality

5ghz travels less but faster

Do you have dual band or seperate
