A bad day for some.

Well there goes my shot at £80 in the sweepstake. England out without a fight.

All the hysteria caused by today's match didn't make for a nice atmosphere in the pub. A couple of arguments spurred up on occasion and a couple of unnecessary comments flung from one side of the bar to the other.

Nothing much came of anything but there were English people arguing with Scots, Scots arguing with English and, of course, Scots laughing at the English. Others drunkenly explaining how, despite their accent, they were actually Scottish due to the fact that their mother had suddenly succumb to the iron grip of labour whilst caravaning at Seton Sands. In short, if you didn't know your nationality before you came into the pub, you certainly did when you got in.

Not my scene. All pubs should have a disclaimer when you walk in that reads as follows.
