The Rapture of St Neots
While England weeps in Miami, the only trophy coming home is a £1.5m riverside escape pod.
On a flooded Cambridgeshire street, ordinary fans in soaked England shirts watch as a pristine six-bedroom period house — complete with its own private marina — literally lifts off its foundations like a luxury ark. On the balcony, well-heeled buyers in red-and-white St George flag scarves clink champagne, hoisting a polished ‘£1.5m’ estate agent placard like a World Cup. One fan below, still holding a flattened paper ‘It’s Coming Home’ banner, mutters to another: “Turns out it already did — just not to our postcode.” In the distance, a tiny billboard reads “St Neots: Where Only the Property Market Wins on Penalties.”
