    Thanks guys, Interesting responses. I always used to work on the basis that I didn’t need to be exceptional all the time to make money because the bar in where I was competing was generally quite low but now I’m starting to think I should have aimed higher and been a billionaire by the time I retired…I could have bought Charlton with the money and saved us all from all the heartache of recent years 😉

    Not to mention all the money you’ve saved on milk over the years. 
    Ordinarily you would have thought so, but I’m old enough to be of a generation when there was free school milk, which government minister Margeret ‘Thatcher the milk snatcher’ stopped for the generations after us, and basically explains why all us old gits tend to be a lot taller than younger generations. Then you get to a turning point in life when, if you’re lucky, your tastes develop and you start to cut out the non-essentials like milk in coffee, so basically you are saving money you shouldn’t actually be spending in the first place.

    “The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.”
    Wow that’s deep!!! 
    Girlfriend sad that last night.

    There does often seem to be a height advantage for those that were supporting Charlton in the late 1960s/early 1970s

    I ordered an Americano at the cafe in the riverside park in Gravesend and the guy serving said there’s no such thing, it’s a made up name. I replied all names are made up. Fair play he said.
    And gave me a black coffee.
