Lies, damn lies and statistics. Personally couldn’t care less about them - I go to football to be entertained which is probably an heretical statement to many on NSC.

Looking forward to watching :)

I don’t understand, “not a criminal conviction in law” - it still appears on a DBS check so what’s the difference?

I thought you had to be convicted before being sentenced - isn’t a conditional discharge the sentence?

A person who is drunk in a designated sports ground at any time during the period of a designated sporting event at that ground or is drunk while entering or trying to enter such a ground at any time during the period of a designated sporting event at that ground is guilty of an offence...

One of the reasons for the high rate of fatalities in accidents involving drivers over 80 is that those over 80 are far less able to survive the trauma caused in an accident rather than they are more likely to be killing others.

You are correct that the annual ‘mileage’ of drivers past retirement age is lower than those of working age but nowhere near 1% The comparison in 2014, (the latest statistic I have found), was 3,819 to 6,871. Interestingly the average distance for drivers under 25, (the group with the highest...

Could it be that not being used to driving on the left they have gone the wrong way around the roundabout - that would make the slip road a natural exit. One of the most counter-intuitive manoeuvres for me when driving on the right is to go anti-clockwise around a roundabout.

What evidence is there that the actions of the driver had anything to do with their age? If it were a 43 year old would you be calling for a ban/test for all drivers aged 43?

Indeed it could but far fewer lives would be saved in comparison to raising the minimum age to hold a driving licence to 25. There doesn’t appear to be any correlation between the age of a driver and driving the wrong way along a motorway. Just Google the subject and you’ll find it covers a...

We’ve been there, done that, got the T-shirt

Looking good - didn’t someone once say, “size doesn’t matter, it’s what you do with it that counts”. A place to ‘cool’ off is invaluable.

Yes please! The income generated by Crawley Borough which includes Gatwick Airport would be a very welcome contribution to the Surrey coffers.

Just celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary! All I’ve done is what I believe every man should do - built my own man-shed - big or small it makes no difference. Keeps it peaceful in the house and at the same time provides somewhere where you can be alone or with friends. Took 2 years...

If you see that commenting on some of the puerile arguments and posts made about Palace, Bournemouth, Portsmouth is “slagging” them off then I plead guilty. Far too much nonsense is spouted about our rivals that as far as I can see make us just look silly. Yes I do know the “ethos” of TB and...

I guess now I’ve been rumbled I can take down that darned signed shirt and flags by the TV in the man shed - at last!

Yes - I guess so Mind you I’ve managed to get away with it for 40 years, Obviously the season ticket and away game trips no longer work as a disguise. :(
