> I love the bookies on Grand National day packed with amatuers looking a bit lost and guilty and generally getting in the way and looking like they don't know what they're doing....a bit like a night in the West End in the run up to Christmas



The busiest days work I have ever done in my life was working in Coral Racing on Grand National day in Liverpool. Up there EVERONE has a flutter, it was manic. You'd get old fellas coming in and slipping you a torn out piece of paper with their bet on, as they adn't realised that it was actually legal now.


We used to generally bundle up money and put every few hundred in the safe. That day I ha a box under the counter by my feet with thousands and thousands of pounds in it!


I don't bet regularly, but I like the feeling of the National. Yesterday however I slept right through it!

    • Agreed, he should not be held accountable over the mess up over release of prisoners. On the other hand he did himself no favours with his gaffes on the BBC Master Mind programme where he passed on five questions. Where he did answer, here are some of his responses.... When asked who succeeded Henry VIII, Lammy incorrectly answered “Henry VII,” When asked which French scientist won Nobel prizes for both physics and chemistry?” Lammy responded with “Antoinette” When asked which fortress was built to defend Paris and later used as a prison, he answered “Versailles". When asked which variety of blue English cheese is often taken with port, he answered "Leicester" If nothing else he was entertaining.
    • Why do you think he should be toast? All these problems with the prison service apparently go way back, long before Labour took over.
    • Probably by working as a banker for a decade before being an MP, being married to another high earner, and using some of the accommodation allowance that all out-of-town MPs receive. https://www.theipsa.org.uk/news/why-do-mps-need-an-accommodation-budget Tbh mate if someone in her position couldn't work out a mortgage to buy a house in suburban London, they probably shouldn't be Chancellor in the first place...
    • Just this, really.  I'll say one thing, it's never boring with Labour
