– Indeed. What things in particular?
– Well, everything, really. The EU referendum is only a few days away – the future of this country is hanging precariously in the balance.
– Of course. It is worrying to think of what might happen. I have to say I am very much in the Remain camp: it is difficult to see how leaving can have anything other than a negative impact on the economy. Not to mention that the spokesmen for the Leave campaign are among my least favourite politicians. Which is saying something.
– And on top of all that, Euro2016 has been painful to watch.
– But it is always painful supporting England. It is never an easy ride. No matter how well we play, the ball never wants to go into the back of the net. You almost see a parallel with being a member of the EU: there is a lot of anguish for what seems to be very little gain. But it's all about playing a part in something bigger than ourselves: believing in the positive side of taking part: not wanting to become isolated, peripheral.
– Or I suppose I could try supporting Wales. They seem to be doing well at the moment.
– I always knew they would.
