Robin's Diary 3rd February 2017

Not a good week for Leeds Utd fans, but early exits from the FA CUP are not new - I can remember them losing to Colchester then in the 4th division in the 70/71 season, when Leeds were the best team in the land, but back then, the Leeds team had all the aces, they didn’t rest players for the Cup games - but hopefully less games now will help them surge for promotion back to the Premier League.

Better news for all of us over 30, or nearly double in my case, was the Tennis with all 4 finalists in Australia well into their 30’s, it just goes to show you can never predict the world of sport, never mind politics, economies, etc, so we won’t even try, but it’s certainly keeping plenty of people in work talking about what might happen, and it’s usually been wrong recently!!

The only thing I know for sure is that we are selling more cars in January this year than last, so whatever the press tell us, car buyers of Yorkshire are still confident enough to buy new cars, which can only be good for everyone.

It’s my son’s birthday today, and he like everyone else shares his birthday with 9 million people worldwide, so Happy Birthday Sam!
