Great video. Particularly interesting about the challenges Chelsea are facing. Who knew that the view from Richmond Park to St Paul's Cathedral is protected?
I read some of his quotes in a review and boy does he sound bitter, mainly because he was called out on his behaviour by people who he thought were his friends.
Prince Andrew levels of humility and self-awareness. Could be fun.
Being a bit of a lightweight, I used to get embarrassingly drunk at Albion events. At the Centenary Dinner I made it to about 1975 before throwing up in the Brighton Centre loos. I also got very drunk at a fundraising/competition prize dinner at Donatellos with Mark McGhee. There are probably...

It's a long way from the train station, and the big free car park has a two hour limit. It's busy, but you can usually get a space. Decent shops, cafes, bakeries. You can get most things. It's even managing to sustain a Waterstones. That, to my mind, is a successful shopping area.
