Not exactly conspicuous or consumption
So I haven't been on holiday in six years - my holidays have usually been taken up with work whether I've liked it or not, or otherwise have been borassic - and just started a new job. I've booked a week off in a fortnight's time.

What to do? Holiday in Benidorm? Holiday in Cornwall - actually scratch that, it'll cost less to go abroad than to holiday in this lousy country.

No. My schedule is:
Saturday 20 Essex v Gloucesters at Colchester
Sunday 21 Bedfords v Lincolns at Luton
Monday 22 England v India at the Oval (last day of the 4th Test, tickets £15 online. Result)
Tuesday 23 Bucks v Norfolk at Slough
Wednesday 24 Essex v Derbyshire at Chelmsford
Thursday 25 Berkshire v Hertfords at Lord's
Friday 26 Kent v Indians at Canterbury
Saturday 27 Challenge Cup Final at Wembley

Either I will be in crowds of one where no-one will notice me or in crowds of tens of thousands where no-one will notice me. So not that conspicuous. However it should set me back less than half what a week in Bognor would set me back, and I'll get just as sun tanned anyway, and enjoy it more. Just wanted to self-indulgently squawk about it. If anyone spots a Honda Accord in any of these places, it's mine.

Are you sure about the sun tan?

Fate will now step in
and make most of those days a wash out and England will have finished off India the day before.

I think if I was forced to watch cricket for 8 days in a row my brain would start running out of my nose by day 4.

fair play though if you enjoy it (which you obviously do).
