Spent a superb couple of hours at the Nestle factory in York on Friday. Photoshoot mainly on the

lawn outside the reception area with the sweet smell of chocolate in the air.

Beautiful weather and folk waiting for autographs! Came away with two packs of "Quality Team" Quality Street chocolates with the St George cross on the pack (perk of the job), only just going to be

released for the World Cup.

Pictures should appear in Nationals, Locals and Trade press.

Sat next to two girls on one of the trains who "giggled" from the word go as I sat down.

One of them phoned a friend and I could hear her mumbling about this bloke, England and the Manager.

When I got off, I handed them a photograph and wished them all the best ... their faces were a

picture!

All good fun and nobody hurt.

A few more "Svens" have appeared from the undergrowth. To think that there are others as handsome as me! Ah well, I think that's not too bad, there are about 15 Beckhams, and I bet not one of 'em has a haircut like the real man now. No wonder he kept his head covered.

If you've not seen the Ant and Dec video or heard the song take a trip to:

This will give you an idea of what it's like. I've heard a few people say that it is rubbish but bet you all, that you will be singing it in about six weeks!

Last Saturday went well at Hindley Tigers presentation night (version 1). All the kids got on stage with me at the end and were singing and dancing to "Three Lions." Mind you, I'd had one or two.
