Ahhh. #publictransport. €6 for two of us to travel, by this lovely spacious train, a distance the equivalent of London to Southampton. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sod #TheAshes. Two years since the #ICEC and what has the #ECB put almost all its energy behind … ?

The (further) privatisation of a game that doesn’t belong to them.
