blythspartan I had to laugh as my wife's family all live in Gateshead and support Newcastle and are amazed that several hundred of us haven't marched along to the ground demanding answers. I just say it's not the Reading way.
And you'd be right, Mr Spartan.
It's hardly surprising that they've got the time to organise protest marches up there, because they lead such uncomplicated lives.
Finish their shifts at the mill/shipyard/pit, stagger home via the pub, then watch television.
They could barely comprehend our lives down here.
How on earth I could find the time to go on a protest march when daily, I have to give our nanny a lift home, pick Cressida up from her riding lessons, drop the wife off at the Bridge club, and on top of all this have to call in at Waitrose to pick up a decent bottle of Chablis to replace the bland mouthwash delivered earlier by Ocado.
