OU are cooking leek soup in a galley the size of a telephone box. Every time the boat rocks the soup sloshes into your oilskin, which is tied, apron-like, round the elegant trousers in which you thought you'd be posing around the deck. As it is, you are allow- ed to put your nose through the hatch only when it is time to shout: "Food."
This is how his sailing works out for you.
Or you slt watching a lot of white-flannel men who occasionally spurt after a tiny ball or wham it with a bat, but who more often disappear into a pavilion for tea leaving you to gaze at an empty pitch while your husband or boy-friend mutters about ducks and rabbits and runs.
Hot and stiff, you dig him for an ice-cream. But he doesn't hear. He doesn't
.notice you.
Nover, in his most passionate moment, has he been so enrapt as he is now.
This is how his cricket works out for you. Or you stand under cruch sun watching aint of toy-sized cars

That's it-three views of you "enjoying" your husband's sport. It might just as well be beating, rowing or canoeing. Whatever It is, you'll get the wrong end of the game.
And да the summer sports season unfurls its drency tentacles again. I ask: Hasn't this sporta manis gone too far for women? Don't you think that we, dear docile idiots, are pre- pared to put up with loo much for too little in return?
National weakness
For years and years we have supported the mad, obsessive love of men for sport and dragred faithfully along in their wake. And our great national weakness for following the loved ones to the game is getting stronger.
Is it worth it?
Think of more things we endure. Sitting for 12 hours on some scruffy river bank, for instater, not allowed to speak, to muve, to breathe, in ase we frighten some unexported fish that may spot the worm an the end of our alt her fe,
And when the fish eventually bites, do we share the glory of tugging him to earth? Oh, no. We just watch, praise, gut and fry,

And yet what is the answer? One of the main reasons for all the unpleasantness of an August holiday is the timing of the school holidays.
Parents are forced to take their holidays then because that is when the children are home. Would one solution be to have four school terms in a year with two shorter summer holidays not in August?
