Rainy Days and Mondays

Its Bank Holiday about as far away from the idea of May Day as you could imagine. Instead of international workers day , on a wet weekend in England, the public appear to be flocking to shopping centres. After visiting my mother we were trapped for 90 minutes on the M25 approaching the Dartford Tunnel , the radio station said there was no traffic incident just shoppers.

The election campaign enters it final phase. The simple fact is that many electors are still not enthused to vote, I will be interested to see what the final turn out will be. Many people are saying that they have not seen canvassers or had leaflets without realising that most parties are desperately short of activists. On the plus side Green supporters continue to flood into Brighton.

Away from the campaign, Arsenal contrived to lose their penultimate game of the season. The average fan can see that some players are simply not up to standard. Allardyce doesn't change, and he knew that Fabianski could be bullied into errors, and he didn't disappoint. Next Sunday's game at home to Fulham now takes on greater significance, as Arsenal still need a point to ensure they finish third and avoid the Champions League Qualifying Round. fortunately for the Gunners , the Fulham game is four days before the opponents play in the Europa League final.

The T20 World Cup is underway in the West Indies.Frankly having a second World Cup just 12 months after the last event is over milking the cash cow of cricket. The opening games in Guyana have been rain affected and the Duckworth Lewis formula is an unsatisfactory way of producing a result, all the more so when England lose after scoring 191 in 20 overs. Meanwhile after Sunday's wash out, Surrey have continued on their winning ways, defeating Worcestershire at New Road yesterday.
