Letter: Men, sex and football

Sir: With reference to your leading article "Send her off and let me watch the football!" (5 May), I appear to be one of the few men in England determined to avoid seeing any of the World Cup; a lecture on the history of plywood would be more interesting. Instead, I intend to spend June and July shopping in London's West End, enjoying candle- lit dinners, sipping champagne in exclusive nightclubs, staying in five- star hotels - and having sex. Please feel free to pass on my address and telephone number to any disgruntled wives or girlfriends of football fans who would like to join me.
