Last Tuesday we had to take shelter from a torrential downpour whilst in Bath. I happened to be talking to another alumni on the phone at the time about degree results. We like the coffee in Cafe Nero so it seemed strange that we ducked in the there to drink a double espresso in Nero whilst Roman Bath was deluged. At least the coffee was well roasted.

Anyway looking out of the window, this graffiti loomed large and I wondered what a wet Roman might have scrawled on the yellow stone walls, and how many of those scrawled words would have been uttered upon opening results. I can lay claim to ‘Lucky’.
