I’ve stepped on some toes here with this Father’s Day teaser… it’s Budabest unless you’re English.
England is revolting (no, it’s friendly rivalry, I like them and even married one).
Their beloved Three Lions, their soccer side, have just been stuffed 4-0 at home by Hungary, on the back of a 1-0 defeat over there.
So the city on the Danube is probably the last place the Engerlish would think of visiting right now.
Celtic nations celebrations
But among England’s Celtic neighbours there were smiles, chief among them Scotland, who won 4-1 in Armenia.
With the Jocks the last team to beat the Auld Enemy by four on their patch.
In Ireland too, my second home.
And with Father’s Day around the corner we should all be dropping hints about the joys of Budapest.
