I was recently in Derby to meet up with a bunch of reprobates who I used to go to college with. 40 years since they started, eh? (I was a late adopter and I'm only at 39 years since I started....)

One of the folks form that era got me into watching Bolton Wanderers (the lure of Boddington's and Greenall Whitley, eh?) so following the reunion, I made a pledge to attend a Trotters game in the not too distant future.

And this was the day. Bolton taking on the might of Shrewsbury Town at the - er - Toughsheet Community Stadium?

As well as football, we were instructed to sample a Carr's pasty and in doing so, we found this waif / stray in downtown Horwich.
