The local has been rebranded as a smokehouse brand that does "NFL Sundays". In practical terms that means that at 18:00 on a Sunday, if there is an NFL game on, the channel gets changed.

I lost a friend recently. He has requested we all wear Welsh rugby tops to his funeral.
My mostly football-loving friend group is losing it's mind at having to acquire Welsh Rugby tops. What a guy 😆
