No pic, but was in Notting Hill last night and LOLed at a normal townhouse where the witty owner had swapped the plain glass above the front door with a pane that said "Stage Door".  Very funny.  I stood around with my autograph book out, but no one came out.

This private sector malarkey isn't too bad.  Just back from Twickenham in a fully-catered hospitality box to watch England vs. Japan courtesy of a vendor we're about to sign up with.  A very good day out indeed.

It should be at the prices they charge on top of the £100+ for a match ticket.

I used to get freebie rugby international  days at Murrayfield courteous of a subsidiary of an oil company. They took their clients to a nearby hotel with free bar because they considered the Murrayfield hospitality extortionately expensive.

The vendor in question just got a private equity investment and have the box for a year.

I haven't been to Twickenham for 16 years.  It's a great stadium and a fantastic atmosphere even when it's under capacity.  I do wish it (and Rugby in general) were more accessible.  The fact that the autumn internationals weren't on any terrestrial television is a travesty of short-sightedness by the RFU...

I used to get access to free tickets and a start line box at Silverstone, because the car hire company I worked for had it, and for the smaller events nobody wanted to go, things like truckfest when it was there, and some of the smaller race series.

Used to be a great day out, you could see all the toffs in the nextdoor boxes in their dj's and suits looking at us and thinking " how did those oiks get in there?" 😁
