le foot v. rugger

Noone Ive spoken to is much bovvered about le football (except
for Leo, who wants England to beat Germany because then
Holland gets to play England which is easier for them, he says);
the excitement in Tilling is because RC COES are defending the
championship of France today. Our little town allied with Couiza
is hoping to carry the trophy back here again. There are flags and
ribbons everywhere. In Couiza, where I snapped the above, there
are portraits of the players plus sponsor names gracing the streets.
Half of Tilling has decamped to Toulouse for the match. We wait
for news....
