Banknotes, Scottish and English and St Johnstone Heaven

Last weekend I was in Perth, my city of origin. As a family we travelled to see St Johnstone in a vital relegation clash with our ‘arch enemy’ Dundee United, aka ‘The Tangerines’.

Gary Lineker, Leicester City, Rishi Sunak, British Banknotes

I live in Leicester and am a season ticket holder for Leicester City. At present we are entering the miasma of relegation so things are not too good.
