    When in Bruges…

    … yesterday evening in my favourite pub with exquisite Belgian beers (had eg ”Stille Nacht Vintage 2017” at 12 % ABV) I thought I heard people at the next table talking about ”the Albion” and ”Super Bobby Taylor”, so I checked - and, indeed, that was a table full of Albion fans (some from Worcester) 👍🌟 And one poor Dingle… 🤣

    So, we ended up singing Albion chants! 😊

    A rare find indeed. Happens over here as well.
    We had a guy who was been palliated on our ward recently and turned out one of his constant visitors was an Albion fan.
    Our constant talking about Albion speed up his eventual death his friend said ...😇

    Nice one SB.

    Most holidays we go on we come across an Albion fan or two.

    The best one was at the Nou Camp, about 5 years ago when we were the last Albion game of the season was away and Evans scored but we lost, when a group of lads noticed my Albion t shirt and came over and we started chatting and they revealed one in their group was a vile c???. So I started singing sotv and his Albion mates joined in. He looked well fk off and walked off.

    Bruges is lovely at night, the town is floodlit with the medieval buildings and the Swan's on the canals.

    It really is Des, a favourite place of mine. Visiting for the 15th time I think.
