Wishful thinking
Image: © P L Chadwick Taken: 20 Jun 2010
During the 2010 World Cup football finals, quite a lot of people got a bit carried away despite England's team being not very good. Pubs all over the place were smothered with England flags. In Bromsgrove, the firm of Dixons, estate agents, even had these for sale boards made with the flag and the slogan "Come on England It's coming home". A few days after this photograph was taken England were badly beaten by Germany, and that, as they say, was the end of that. Quite who was the most embarrassed, Dixons, or the owner of this house in Worcester Road, is unknown.
