Stop The Tour

For that reason alone I’m pleased SA won.
That said I was rooting for England!

Yes, shame about England. We could have done with something to lift our spirits!!

We did well to reach as far as we did so there's got to be some pride on that score.

The England team didn't play to their full potential knowing that they had the world's best to play against.

I'm drowning my sorrows!

Yes, EllenVannin, you did very well to get so far, but unfortunately only one can win. Anniebach, I still feel a sense of satisfaction when I buy the lovely South African fruit after many years of boycotting it!

Sorry to go off at a tangent but Harry at the rugby looks the most relaxed and happy and full of fun that he has looked for months, despite the fact that England lost.

Wheniwasyourage my younger daughter reminded me this
morning , when Mandela was released , she asked ‘can we eat their fruit now’

Sparkle - I thought that! She's let him off the leash for the day.

NotTooOld Exactly !!!!

Also going off at a tangent... yes we can enjoy lovely SA fruit and wine now.
I also remember well buying a case Chilean red wine when Pinochet was no longer in power.

Yes, the co-op sells Fair Trade Chilean and South African wine, so you get double enjoyment!

Sorry, Co-op, not co-op. Why is it that when you don't preview your post there is always an error?

Annie couple of weeks ago,
I watched a documentary with Gareth Edwards.
It was called Rugby, Apartheid and me.

I watched on BBC iplayer
(catch up), just checked it is still on and available for 6 more days

Fascinating programme and well worth a watch.

Thank you Cherry I will watch it.
