On Saturday I took it easy in the morning, and in the afternoon, Gareth took me to watch Watford play. Sure, they are no longer in the top division, and the crowd was a mere 16-odd thousand, but I did enjoy the game and total parochialism from those in the crowd around me. Football is so much a part of British life and is fundamentally linked to the success and failure of the nation in many ways.
Update: The touch judge (or Assistant Referee) was Sian Massey. She was definitely someone you would notice. I did not know at the time how famous she was to become after being inadvertently caught up in the British Sky TV commentator scandal.
