As a dream and experiment Owen Robertson, a self-employed electrician, saved up to follow the full tour of the Caribbean. He enjoyed it rather more than KP, writes Adam Sills in the Guardian.
"I have been watching England for 20 years since I was a kid and have always said that I wanted to go on a tour," said Robertson. "Two years ago I started saving and I can safely say I have no regrets. On Boxing Day last year I was on a laptop at a friend's house and decided that the West Indies tour would be a good one to start with, so I booked my flights, bought my tickets off the Barmy Army website and took it from there."
