I went to buy a newspaper while in Edinburgh in June. It was not good timing. England had just lost to Germany in the World Cup. So I reverted to type and tried a joke.
"Do you have any where Enaglnd won?" The newsagent looked at me with a mixture of pity and then understanding. Being a Scotland supporter he too had long suffered for his team. But I think the sympathy was mixed with thinly disguised satisfaction.
Then it struck me. Maybe there should be a newspaper where the opposite happens. "Rooney scores wonder goal as England progress to Quarter Final." "Police arrest intended rapist". "Bankers turn down bonuses". Boy oh boy! I would enjoy reading that. Even though I knew it was all poppycock. It would still give me a few minutes of joyous relief.

Here is the stuff I do just to get by and enjoy life. Anything from DIY, trying to save a few bob and hopefully, doing the right thing by others. Maybe you can learn from my mistakes
