I am not some Sun reading, 'believe anything that I am told' fool either by the way
a large part of my Business studies degree was Tourism and Leisure management. Yes I am only looking at what could happen if it all goes right and I do have my rose tinted glasses on when looking back at some previous events. BUT whats wrong with a little hope, enthusiasm and positivity????
I'm all for moaning if we make a pigs ear of it, but until then, I'm all smiles
