England’s victory is contagious

Sports marketing company Octagon is over the moon about securing the rights to England’s recent 5-1 victory over Germany (for those of you who’ve been away, it was a football match a couple of weeks ago).

The company will be selling videos of England’s historic victory in one game of the regional preliminary round of the World Cup, “throughout the UK and Eire” for &£14.99 a throw.

The Diary is looking forward to visiting some Glaswegian relatives for a night in front of the televison, reliving the great afternoon, and is sure that letters of gratitude are already winging their way to Octagon from the good people of Dublin and Cork.
