I have a wallet but keep it in a safe place at home as a sort of filing cabinet for cards, licences, etc. When I go out I take just the things I’m going to need.

That knowledge will also ease the pain when we lose the Play-Off final on penalties, following an outrageous decision to disallow a perfectly good goal in extra-time.

I simultaneously am really keen for my team (Cov) to be promoted, knowing that we would be relegated after one humbling season and that the football will be far less entertaining than the Championship. This mental confusion is called cognitive polypahsia.

I’ve had hayfever for years. I take non-prescription tablets Allevia during the pollen season. Really effective and no tiredness side-effects.
