A bit of a distraction

[Joanna Grey 0]

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but whilst looking for some "5 min sit-down" reading I pulled my son''s copy of "Raven''s Gate" by Anthony Horowitz off his bookshelf (he''s a big Alex Rider fan and is just getting into Horowitz''s Power of Five stuff). Anyways this bit made me chuckle;

Matt had not been born in Ipswich. He had been brought here and he hated everything about the place. For a start it wasn''t a city. It was too small. But it had none of the charm of a village or a market town....

...It didn''t even have a decent football team.
