    Hi Prince of Risborough, about five years ago I was working between High Wycombe and Princes Risborough and spotted a bloke wearing an old Reds shirt. I went up to him and said it was great to me meet another reds fan out here. He looked puzzled and didn't reply, so I just said "Barnsley!". He replied in a deep Eastern European accent.."What f*ck is Barnsley?" I pointed at the shirt. He just said "Cheap ****! Charity shop". I just walked away deflated. My workmate (A Reading fan) was crying with laughter and won't let me forget it. It wasn't you that gave that shirt to a local charity shop was it?

    Absolutely not! Shame we didn’t meet up at that time. Were you working at Saunderton, or somewhere near?

    No, the job was based in West London but was mobile and covered that area. I've moved again since then.

    Ah, ok. I know your location quite well - always enjoyed visiting Portishead when I was living in Gloucester. Had a friend who was a teacher at one of the primary schools there.
