GREAT news for Post Wobegon. The Hoops pub sign can be seen once again. Within hours of my request for its reinstatement being published in The Crow, The Golden Elephant signs, which have ornamented the building for the past few months, just disappeared.

All has been cancelled. Someone noticed that it was being held at the same time as the World Cup Final on Sunday
July 9.

I was surprised some years ago when after a two-hour long bumpy mini-bus ride down into a Malaysian rainforest there was a guide at journeys end who with great enthusiasm announced: "I do love the English football team and I do love your David Beckham."
I was even more amused to see the sons of a Privy Counsellor to the Sultan of Brunei late one Saturday night using mobile phones to check out the football scores here in England.
