Looks like no trick or treating for tier 3 areas. Makes sense that kids don't spread owt to vulnerable old folks and other families. Hope parents use their noggins on this. Kids can still party at home. Sorry for being a grumps to the trick and treatsters 😉

Speaking of americanisms I was reading something on Pele the other day and he said he was born to play soccer

Might be due to his time at the NY Cosmos

Not wanting to poop on the US bashing party but Soccer was in fairly common use in the UK in the 60s. Just looked through my toy cupboard and I have Subbuteo Table Soccer, Table Soccer by Waddingtons and my 1968/9 Division 1 stickers album is called Soccer Stars.

Anyway, don't forget Thanksgiving is coming up soon lads so get your turkeys and pumpkin pies ordered before it's too late

Talking of cricket, the World Champions of baseball will be crowned in the next two days and I don't remember England putting out a very strong team in this global event held here in the US

Have you got your votes in yet for Trump/Biden

Soccer is quite British being a corruption of the word association as in association football.

Always preferred Waddingtons to subbuteo easier to control and more realistic i thought. I also thought the flat cardboard pitch was better than the subbuteo one which I couldn't get flat without getting mi mum to iron it!
