Today we were due to be at a pitch to the North West of Birmingham at ten o'clock sharp. This meant de-icing and climbing in to a chilly car by nine at the latest. Take note of the term "de-icing" as this is important later on. I also need to point out that I had had checked my iPhone e-mail just before we left to obtain the destination post code for the Sat Nav ...
