I did that with a hat - when we got to the ground I assumed I'd left my hat at home

so Mrs AB took pity and bought me an NCFC hat with all the club crest on it and everything, as it was taters out, proper brass monkeys.

Turns out my original hat was in the glovebox of the car all along - so now I am replete with hattage, and with ?0.00p additional expenditure.

Which I think tells you that *I* ought to be looking after take-overs and that, thank you very much,
