A friend of mine
suddenly and out of the blue announced that she was in the SLRA roller Derby
team and did I want to come along and watch a match? I searched my sketchy mental database to come
up with any point of reference I might have had as to what she might possibly
have been talking about. Here, let me just point out I’m English, most of us
haven’t heard of roller derby much less know what it’s about and it’s for that
possible reason I eventually came up with a mental picture of female ex-cons or
women with excessive tattoos racing round a track on roller skates, trying to
kill each other between chugging down cans of lager and chain smoking cheroots.
