5:00pm, Wednesday 19 June 2014, Pevensey Bay and the heavens appear about to open, It is a sign from the Gods.
Heaven can wait. There is a football match starting in exactly three hours, so get out the Thunderclap Newman single, and keep calm with your Eagles Annual, Booby Moore Special, because yes this really is going to be emotional.
We have shown we can play, more importantly perhaps for the first time in three World Cups starts, we have shown that we can play as a team.
Curry and pint, £6:00 in the Beach Tavern with a big screen and other special offers in the Bay on our local World Cup Grid as they come in.
Three lions, still, on the shirt. Come on England.
