> 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!

    • Maurice fixed a blocked pipe in our bathroom, was communicative and reliable during the enquiry process, personable and professional during the fix and reasonable in his pricing. Would recommend.
    • Dishing the dirt is generally fine when it comes to politicians and in Farage's case he often deserves it but  nothing illegal  has been done. It is not illegal for him to give his partner a sizeable amount of money with which to buy a house and have it registered in her name. He is 64 years old and his partner is 16 years younger and so he most likely is making plans to minimise IHT. There is a sliding scale for IHT but basically a gift is free of IHT if the gift is made 7 years before the donor dies. Farage is 64 years old and his partner is 16 years younger. In 7 years time, if he lives that long, he will be 71 years old. Given that he smokes like a chimney and drinks like a fish, his odds on getting beyond 71  years may be pretty slim.  A similar  process is followed by the "bank of mum and dad"  where parents  give money to their kids to fund purchase of a property. Many who are not cash rich will mortgage their home and so release equity to fund their kids property. We did it as have many of our friends.
