Gonzo79 15,294 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 This reminds me of when Raquel's parents meet the Trotters on Only Fools And Horses. Having just learned that Uncle Albert was in the Navy, Raquel's father asks Delboy if he is also a naval man, to which Del replies, "I'm more of a leg man.". ?? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually isn’t - it’s a common misconception. Britain is still their country. https://www.flaginstitute.org/wp/uk-flags/the-union-jack-or-the-union-flag/ Edited July 11, 2021 by bmck 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousseau 10,655 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 BBC: Lineker, Shearer, Lampard and Rio. ITV: Pougatch, Keane, Neville, Wright (and Emma Hayes pitch-side). ITV it is -- at least there's a semblance of objectivity and insight, there. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
