Yes indeed, the simple pleasures of a complicated game. Loved and invented by a nation that once loved the long game, the gentle pace and beautiful skill therein. How can you not love a game where they stop regularly for tea and cakes

And you can bet your boots (or any other bit of apparel) that just as we get to grips with it, the bastards will change it again.
And even worse, a particularly Northern disease, topless on buses. Their sweaty and noxious bodies seeping into the upholstery we have to sit in, just stop it, partial nudity isn't clever 
One of many reasons why I don't use buses.
