So the dream is well and truly over and the hope that England could win the World Cup in South Africa came up short against a well organised German side. It hurts though not because of the defeat against a superior side but for the fact that very few of the England players performed like we all know they can and as they do week in, week out. Perhaps it is because it is out of season and subconsciously they think that they should be lying on a beach somewhere. It can only be said that their displays, to put it crudely have gone "down the pan" or as our American friends would say who also suffered a World Cup exit yesterday, "down the tubes". Either way it leads me nicely onto today's picture which shows the toilet block at the junction of Derby Road and South Street. The toilets closed some time ago and the building had been up for sale. Within the next couple of weeks the block is due for demolition so I've recorded it for posterity. Many years ago a pub stood on the site - I wonder what will be built here next.
