On the plus side, there's a statue of Jimmy Hill outside.

Give my regards to the Nailcote. They were always rather nice there - for Midland types. And I've got very, very drunk in that little bar many times.

I shall raise a glass to you in said bar.

I just think your sort rather avoids places like , say, Houston or Tokyo or Paris because you prefer spots where your money and your passport makes you a big shot, the top man, rather than visiting there for any reasons concerning rich cultural heritage, architecture, art or local traditions and customs and all that guff.

Even though we don't actually say it, of course.

I'd love to go to Tokyo. I've never holidayed in Paris but I have worked there and would never voluntarily go back.

Houston, given it's Texas turned up to 11, I would avoid like it was on fire
