Old Wykehamist Football Club

5 things OWFC learned this weekend:


1. The laxity of 1970s policing continues to have profound effectsLife on Mars hardman DCI Gene Hunt combined the roles of Aldenham coach and referee with no discernible bias, but with a questionable enthusiasm for letting people kick lumps out of each other.


2. Minicab firms in Elstree are failing to attract Britain’s top minds.


3. In Hertfordshire it is acceptable for men to wear leggings.


4. It is impossible to keep Jimmy Saville out of the conversation: (a) Nigel once went to a party dressed as JS; (b) the smarter, better looking Kiley brother (Tom) is dressing as JS for Halloween right now; (c) applicants to the University of Skinner no longer require 3 As at A-levels, or in fact any A-levels at all.


5. John Wilson didn’t know Jimmy Saville was dead.
