Tracee and I were trying to work out the exact time when Neil's mood improved over the summer. It was certainly before the Premiership re-started after the enforced break, when his beloved Norwich City had a now enviable goal difference of just minus 86. We think it coincided with the moment NTI's bank account was credited with a Government Bounceback loan and he was spotted skipping down the street outside the newsroom offices whistling and clutching holiday brochures. He was later heard muttering into his phone, "... free money" ... "I can't believe it either ..." ... "do you prefer the Daytona Grey or Raven Blue?"
