Any Notts fans going to Madeira?

I forgot about this story from our recent holiday. We were looking around the various souvenir stalls on the sea front and came across a stall selling football wrist bands with the name of football teams on, so I was having a look when the stall holder came over and said in pigeon English:

"You like, you buy?"

"Have you got Notts County?" says I, looking at all the usual Man Utd., Chelsea Arsenal etc.

"County? Derby?" says he showing me a Derby County wrist band.

"No, Notts County" I said.

Whereupon he produces a piece of paper and pen.

"You spell, here" he says pointing at the paper.

So I write in big capital letters NOTTS COUNTY.

"There you go Notts County, very popular in England" I said handing him the piece of paper.

"Ok, I have some made, you come back?"

"Maybe next year", I said laughing and he shook my hand as we went on our way.

So for God's sake if you visit Madeira at any time please buy one of the wrist bands from this chap, I feel a bit guilty as he will probably have a job lot made and no one will buy them. :joker:

At least if @super_ram goes to Madeira he won't be disappointed.

Tut tut, you told some whoppers there @tonyhateley.

Mind you - had you gone back, it would have made a nice souvenir for all your PON friends. :lol: Good story.

I suppose what you have to do now is arrange a PON tour. :rollonfloorlaughing:
