Well I'd love to live in Villa Road (I believe there is a Villa Street nearby as well), or Holte Road, or preferably Holte Drive in Sutton. But that's bloody women for you - obsessed with trivia, blind to the really important things.

[danlanza]

Is there a street called K7 seat 18 row 3 ? Wouldnt mind living there again .

[Percy McCarthy]

Indeed there is, but unfortunately it's in a little village called Imabluenosebastardville, Francisshire.

Avoiding a company because you don't like the company ethos or their products is one thing, because they sponsor a team you don't like, petty.

If there is little difference between a couple of products then surely it's a duty to avoid the one that benefits a rival team.

Is it only me, or are people really that petty

Petty?

OK - take yourself back a few years and you have to choose between a flight on BMI Baby and Flybe.  They both cost within a few quid of each other and leave an hour or two apart.  Which are you going to choose?

When the differences are small why would I knowingly support a rival's finances?

How would you be supporting them?

Please tell me. It's the first time I've heard of a sponsor paying part of their income to a club.

You don't think future marketing spend (eq sponsorship renewal) wouldn't reflect the effectiveness of the existing sponsorship to any degree?

I don't think one ticket would make much difference.

At the same time as Flybe were sponsoring that lot I was going out with a woman who lived in Glasgow. I used Flybe all the time to fly up to Glasgow (or her down to Brum) as they were way cheaper than BA, and often cheaper than the train.

Having said that, when I was buying a new shower one year I flatly refused to even consider a Triton one.

I honestly don't think that it would go through my mind at any point during the buying process. I'd probably just buy the cheapest one and buy a pint with the difference.

[philthebar]

I would choose the flight that suits my plans and budget.
