    I see that and raise you a swimming pool, two sports halls, squash courts, 4 fives courts, an all-weather hockey pitch, tennis courts, six cricket pitches (converted to however many rugger pitches in winter) including one that is used for county matches - all of course with a full-time groundstaff.

    One took it for granted at the time, but looking back it does seem faintly ridicules.

    They have a zoo there now. It was opened by the Queen.

    Ours was run by Derren Brown's dad, who as far as I can tell wore swimming trunks all year round. Don't think I ever saw him in trousers.

    I'm sure he must have worn trousers occasionally, but I have no memory of him other than in speedos. He was a burly, hairy sort of chap. Smoked cigars pretty much constantly and had a gold chain round his neck. It was very much the 1980s

    Yes, this is what is so terribly sad; we'll never win the World Cup with

    all this school sport going on, poisoning our youngsters during their most important formative years.

    For example, the only sport German kids seem to do at school is some sort of calisthenics. Genius really.
