Ground #322.

Saxlingham Nethergate v UEA A, Central & S Norfolk Div 1.

Match abandoned at Half Time. Sadly, the ref and the coach of one side had a spat and threw their dummies out the pram. Pity, the first half was very entertaining.

Morning spent on the William Bass trail … we all know the red triangle was the first trademark registered in the UK?

Ground # 3-2-1

Hell, how I miss Ted Rogers and Dusty Bin … they are right up there at the top of TV Light Entertainment along with Keith Chegwin, Bernard Manning and Mrs Brown’s Boys.

Just hoping the ref where I am today doesn’t deem the pitch waterlogged and postpone the game 🫤

The real highlight was riding the Class 139 between Stourbridge Junction and Stourbridge Town … 2 mins 45 secs each way to compete the single track line 🚂

I spent 3 weeks at Driffield (Army School of Mechanical Transport) in 1984 and always meant to return - Hull is lovely. Celebrating the 1 Day win at Grantham station bar 😁.

Popped-in to St Mary Lowgate, notable for 3 incumbents named John Scott. This was a requirement as the Wetherspoon opposite was already called Three John Scotts.
