For newcomers to The Ashes, England and Australia play for a small urn (11 cm high) which contains the burnt shavings of the 'tashes of previous participants.

13.11.2025 01:05 โ ๐ 34 ๐ 5 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I have been fascinated since I read Harry Price's books in the 70s and have read pretty much everything about it since. I think the definitive account is the recent 'The Haunting of Borley Rectory' by Sean O'Connor. Meticulous and he concludes that there probably were no ghosts. I tend now to agree.

When I arrived here in an ambulance, sirens and blue lights going, Saturday night, I was terrified, I was genuinely scared, I thought I was going to die.
But people from all nations and walks of life fixed me and cared for me, and all for free.
Thank fuck for the NHS.
