Nick, the birthplace of tourism link is as follows: Thomas Cook's first excursion, considered the world's first package holiday, was a one-day train trip from Leicester to Loughborough on July 5, 1841, for a temperance meeting, transporting about 500 people for one shilling each, which included a meal and a band. This journey for temperance supporters marked the beginning of his travel business, focusing on social improvement and affordable group travel. |

Yes, a great place and one that many folk do not take seriously!! After the Ipswich - Leicester game, the talk of commentators was about the gap between Ipswich and, yes, Leeds. no mention of Saints.... |
 | News Comment | Southampton At Middlesbrough The Verdict at 07:28:10
As I live north of the border, this was my first game of the season. I came down with a pal who is Billingham born and a Boro supporter as well as a neutral. We sat among home fans. Firstly, the saints contingent were in really good voice and a credit to the club. Overall atmosphere in the ground was good and, aside from the result, 'a great day out' (my neutral friend). Honestly, Saints were poor and Boro deserved to win because of their greater urgency and energy. We lacked bite and even when we did have the ball, rarely really threatened. How many real saves did we force - one? two? I am just glad that we chose this game over the Sunderland debacle a couple of weeks ago!! |
