I missed the parade today because I was on a train on the West Coast main line. Having watched every game of the world cup I’m a little dis-chuffed that I couldn’t join in the celebration and applaud the best team in the world.
Even worse, on a personal front, is that I’ll be back on the West Coast main line tomorrow, with a quick day trip from London to Accrington. Total travel time? Oooo, about nine hours.
