🍾Thanks to Brexit, British vineyards will be able to sell still & sparkling wine in 200ml, 500ml & 568ml ‘pint’ sizes 900 vineyards across Britain already produce 12.2m bottles of wine each year, so this will help support businesses and grow the economy

This is my Dad. Star centre forward for Wycombe Wanderers, taken in 1961. He went to a reunion today with some of his old team mates. They presented him with this photo. He’s in his 80’s. I’m so proud of him and to the testament of enduring friendship that sport can enrich life.

@RoddyQC “Others have said they won’t buy the new Scottish Rugby World Cup kit unless she is replaced, while some have gone as far as to suggest they will switch their allegiance to other countries they have links to.” I’d suggest that, if true, Scottish rugby won’t mourn the loss.
