Sir,– Isn’t there something quite surreal about lying on a couch on a cold autumn day in a low-temperature sitting room, wrapped in a duvet watching a World Cup match on the television being played in balmy conditions in faraway Qatar? It’s enough to tempt one to turn on the central heating before the designated time of 6pm. – Yours, etc,
PAUL DELANEY,
