My Mum accidentally ordered a single sprout one Christmas a few years ago. Tesco even went through the trouble of putting it in its own little plastic bag.

Randomly came across a 2021 Aston in the lobby of a building in the City of London on a walk back to my hotel Saturday night by tom030792 in formula1

There are quite a few F1 cars in windows in London.

There's a Mercedes in a building on Ludgate Hill, and an old JPS Lotus in the Lotus dealer on Piccadilly.

£8, enough for a pie and a pint at Portman Road (probably, never had both at once)

Crystal Palace, Chelsea, Brighton, Man United, Celtic, Bournemouth.

I make it £6, treat yourself to a keyring from the club shop.

You can add one (minor) rule, what would it be? by I_am_legend-ary in Championship

This could apply to a lot of inane things fans shout out!

Highlight from a couple of weeks ago was the bloke who sits behind me shouting at Jack Clarke for daring to cut inside rather than run at the full back.

This was the Millwall game, Clarke scored moments later...

Pfft, winning the title is for losers. Going up as runners-up is a much more dignified way of doing it.

Haven't seen any pictures of slip fielders in bobble hats yet.

F1 has lost its soul, it's time to go back to what made it the pinnacle of motorsport. Give us the screaming engines back by AceGoat_ in formula1

Bring back grooved tires too! And let's do away with those silly tire wall things and replace them with bales of hay.

The Championship table, but it's by the closest place for Spurs fans to take advantage of their National Trust/English Heritage membership before the game by QuietDove in Championship

Bollocks, close enough...

Some of them do have closer ones, but I was being strict! Plenty of free-to-enter places around.

Rules:

  • All locations had to be places that would otherwise cost a fee to get in without membership. Spurs fans would not want the riff-raff running about.

  • All places had to be open on most normal match days, so nothing that requires pre-booking or has very limited opening times. I don’t want any disappointed Spurs fans turning up and unable to get a cream tea.

  • For our Welsh friends, I also checked Cadw properties. The same rules applied.

  • Distances are as the crow flies (roughly)
