Elton, lovely to see you, lovely to talk to you. Congratulations on the book ive thoroughly enjoyed it. Theres something thats not in it. I came to watford with Leicester City a long time ago around 79 80 and one of our players got a terrible gash in his leg and was carried off and had to have stitches in the Dressing Room and you went down to comfort him. Do you have any memory of that . I dont. That was me. Really, i dont. That was me. It was you . It was me.

I was approached byjohn preston, who wrote the book, and said, its a really interesting subject and i thought, yeah, it has i havent really talked about it and i wanted to get my side of the story out because i think we werent given enough credit for what we did.

measure introduced in 2023, initially atjust 9 euros each. i do love a train who doesn t? so i m planning to take them to criss cross the country and get a better look at the close relationship between germans and their railways. from berlin s iconic u bahn, to the incredible hanging overhead railway of the industrial west, to the makeshift island trains of the northern coast. the water, the lights this is stunning. i m here to see how engineering and a bit of imagination have led to a network like no other. with almost 40,000 km of track, germany s rail network is the longest in europe, which makes it the perfect place to explore by train. but from berlin s vast central station, i m taking an even cheaper form of transport for a spot of sightseeing. all right, we re doing it. we are crossing the tramway. fabulous. oh, it s beautiful. i can see the tv tower on my left, and it s so cloudy, the tip of it is just about unseen. alexanderplatz is these days the touristic heart
well, look who it is. what a surprise! as if! i can t believe i found you here! it s been so long. can ijust say, i m standing here feeling kind ofjealous? why? well, look! and we didn t even put it there! it wasn t even staged. no? no. well, i mean, it s selling very well, so why not? and the cover looks good. i think the cover kind of pops. i m wondering if you get a bit. you know, i ve had it one or two times, books in windows, but you must get it all the time. so, the thing that makes my socks go up and down is not seeing the book in the book store window, but it s walking down the aisle of an aeroplane and seeing people read the book. when you see people reading it. i ve sat next to somebody once who was reading my book and i didn t say anything. so, i had exactly that experience. after liar s poker came out, i was. it was a version of this i sat down to reread my book because i was coming back for the paperback book tour from england and the guy next to me goes. he lo

the way across the uk as we go through saturday into sunday. and it ll stay around into next week as well. so for saturday, there may well be a few splashes of rain on our weather front, a few icy patches, because it will be a cold start, not a harsh frost, but temperatures around freezing, perhaps one or two fog patches here and there as well. and still quite a lot of cloud drifting around in the south with showers starting to pep up in the north, but temperatures around about five in the south, up to seven or eight in the north. but then as we go through saturday night, we do see those showers popping up and turning to snow and pushing further southward. so a colder night, i think, as we head into sunday morning. frosty, one or two ice patches where we ve seen the showers, of course, a little bit of fog potentially still in the south. but by sunday, the risk of impactful snow rises, particularly for scotland. there are already warnings in force for sunday for scotland and you can see
