A taste of home



It's always nice to get a picture from home. Here's my little sister, Jane, in my hometown of little old Leicester, previously known as the world capital for, er, rather fatty red cheddar and Gary Lineker (below). But wait a minute what's that behind her? A sushi restaurant? In Leicester? Yes folks, it's true. Does this mean Leicester is moving upmarket? I doubt it, it probably just means sushi is becoming more downmarket in Britain. But this is still a reason to celebrate. If I can eat KFC in Japan, I don't see why the good folk of Leicester shouldn't have a taste of the orient. By the way, did I ever tell you about my distant relative, Amos Sherriff, the first Labour Lord Mayor of Leicester...?
