    Have you any irrational fears?

    Cows for me. I do a lot of walking and will go out of my way to avoid them.. Stems from being chased by a load of them as a kid!

    Football

    I think Boston still hold the record the biggest away win as a non league side at a football league side. Winning 6-1 away at Derby in 1955..

    27/09/2009. A short trip on holiday on a FOSS rover. It appears my note taking wasn't the best then!

    A nice ride round that, the variety on the Eastern is much missed these days for me. Its alright scoring winning 720s but it does get a bit boring after a while!

    Sleeper train FIP/Leisure card

    You certainly can, you can either do this by ringing Caldedonian Sleeper customer services (usually very helpful) or your local booking office can book a berth. Note you can't book any seats just berths.

    Skegness line reservations (Was - Compulsory reservations on Skegness trains)

    its not just a Summer issue, trains are full and standing pretty much every Monday, Friday, Saturday throughout the year. There is only 2 weeks where Butlins is shut now. Off peak travel is booming along the route compared to pre covid as per much of the rest of the network.

    Boston 2 Scarborough 2. Another result where we conceded far too many sloppy goals. Scarborough 5th in the league, looked really poor every time we have played them. Big match at Kettering on Tuesday night, point below in the relegation zone.

    Boston 2 Gloucester 2. Dodgy penalty in the 93rd minute saves the day. Some of the antics by Gloucester players were an absolute disgrace during the penalty. Constantly scuffing up the penalty spot etc.

    Kings Lynn 2 Boston 1. Truly in a relegation scrap now. 8 defeats in 9.
