It varied, but it was murder in almost every case - and it depended on how
many other London clubs were playing too. Of course, then, everyone played
3.00 PM Saturday.

Point taken, but I can remember vast stretches of empty road, even around
3.p.m. on Saturday afternoons.

What the hell does your
family's *middle-class respectability* have to do with anything?

You, not me, were referring to yuppies or whatever wanting other longer-present
residents to leave since it reminded them of Fulham's previously humbler
status. I was merely pointing out that not ALL of the people who have lived in
Fulham since pre-yuppie days were guttersnipes, as you seemed to imply.

Are you
failing to get the point that the hypothetical yuppy is supposed to be a
shallow prick?

If that is your opinion, you are entitled to it. I know somevery nice yuppies,
some horrible ones and everything inbetween. The same for people of all classes
and backgrounds. I would NEVER resort to stereotypes as freely as you seem to.

- I have no time whatsoever for that "sport"

The national "sport", you mean?


Indeed, I regard it as a business where some dubious individuals make a lot of
money and a lot of hapless individuals are quite happy to give them that money.


I regard cricket as my national sport - as indeed did England until relatively
recently.

I don't really care about your complaint.

So why bother to interact with me?

You're a snob.

Flattery will get you nowhere.
