24 years since the nation lost Diana. I've been asked so many times if I remember where I was when she died, I'm beginning to think I'm a suspect
As an ID parade sergeant told us once when he asked us 19-20 year old working over the summer in the dvla (before it all moved to swansea) "Dont worry if one of the witnesses picks you out by mistake we'll just take your name and address before you leave. We didn't need to worry as the suspect looked nothing like any of us. And yet even with that big clue to the witnesses 2 out of 3 couldn't pick anyone out as ''im wot done it'. The third had no difficulty.

At least you weren't asked if anyone could vouch for what you claim.

So. Purely as a matter of interest, where were you in fact and have you got your alibi sorted?

My alibi? I was driving under a tunnel in Paris when some bastard dinged my white Fiat. I stopped beyond the tunnel to exchange insurance details, but the knucklehead never showed up.

James Ormond played just two Tests, but he made sure he would be remembered with one of the all-time great sledges. In 2001, Mark Waugh told Ormond that, "There's no way you're good enough to play for England," to which the Englishman replied "Maybe not, but at least I'm the best player in my family."

That’s a great response by Ormrod <cheers>
