England Football


1 - 0


As I walked the deserted streets of Oakham Town Centre this afternoon

Tesco serving less customers than any Sunday I wondered why?

Where are all the people?

I popped into see the Town Clerk, then I stopped to chat to local
artist Stephen Wigmore, he is very wise, His show still on at Victoria Hall) he knew where all people were
at home or down at the pub, football was the answer.

I don't understand why?

But if England do get into the final. I may find myself drawn to the
television. Its the same for Big Brother & X factor.
We all like to share in someone Else's glory.

At end of Today we can expect Tescos sales to be down.
and the same for many of the small shops here in
Oakham that closed early for the footie as once noticed display read.

After the game the streets soon filled again and it was good to see all
the young folk in red kit playing football in Cutts Close.

on the way home I noticed the Oakham School Hippo has returned
to Jerwards the younger pupils have covered Charlotte with lot of
little drawings.
