1960  HMS Dreadnought Britain's first nuclear submarine was launched

Fifteen minutes before kick off last night the roads went dead and by kick off they'd realised in the Pizza & Grill they were probably going to watch the game undisturbed.  In the back of The Railway it was standing only to watch the projection screen and at The Con Club everybody including the steward had moved into the back bar to watch.  The Crown and Anchor had decided they weren't interested but up the road a group of friends had hired reubens bar so they could enjoy the match with the comforts of antipasti, chips and two barmaids all to themselves.  (We were a little a disappointed that South African waitress Erica wasn't

about but she had gone to Paris!)  The real downer though was ending up at The White Horse where these disappointed faces tell all ... but no disgrace to England and what an improvement on 32-0.
