It's hard not to feel that part of the problem with my homeland is summed up rather well by this object: a chair, specially made so that the visiting monarch wouldn't have to park his pampered posterior on a piece of used furniture, venerated four hundred years later.
Credit to #GreatBritain who found a way to beat #Austria at the #IIHFWorlds today. Unfortunately relegation from the top group is confirmed, but they'll end their tournament with a nice win and can hold their heads high.
We're not a big #Hockey nation, but with each win comes little more experience and that counts for so much at this level.
