Tebay services are nice, though, Motorway Services Online rates them as “by far the most popular and probably the most famous service station”, and they’re certainly better than Killington lake.

I do have a fondness for Annandale Water, though.

Also: Glen Chapple, everybody!

There are some similarities, Chuck.

“Six pounds eighty and you can’t even take a photo in here!?”

I do, of course, mean similarities in the dialogue. I do not mean similarities between a strip club and the Inner Sanctum of the Temple of Cricket.

Mind you, I have never seen the inside of a strip club. Be funny if I recognised a few familiar faces…

You are pre-empting my Essex v The Australians match report there, Ceci. Please don’t jump the gun.

Roger: (on the cost of visiting a strip club) £10.
Jim: (horrified) Ten quid?!
Roger: Yeah, and no touching, either.
Jim: (even more horrified): Ten quid and you can’t touch?!

Not that I’m equating your visit, etc.
