I can't believe that I have been out and about today in Peckham and ED in the only places that don't have betting shops. I now have a raging headache and can't be arsed to walk down to L.Lane.


I would have put my fiver on Imperial Commander, so if he wins I shall have a hissy fit.

Errr....idiots gambling question alert:


I went into my nearest turf accountant and placed my bets but have no idea what odds I actually got. Never bothered to find out what they were. Do I get the odds as they were at the time of my bet or the closing odds. Doesn't really make much difference since they're highly unlikely to win but you never know so.....help please....

You horsey people have ignited my interest in the sport though I'm sure it won't last. How can so many experts get it wrong though? So many favourites didn't win or even get close. If it's this difficult might you just as well invest in online bingo.????'s how did you manage to pick IC to win? Who did you listen to? Mick, what did that subscription do for you? Lost you money in seems. The experts don't seem very expert. Well done to Katie Walsh though.

All good points Declan.


I have to admit to losing a small/big fortune this week. Am very much poorer than I was when the week started.

I read the racing sections in the papers most days

I especially read bits on the big races

I look at what people are saying on Forums

When there's big favourites (in this case) I'll look for a decent alternative horse as prices will be big and an EW bet gives you some degree of insurance



But ultimately, I just look at what Mick Mack is doing and do something else.....


REAL ANSWER= LUCK...this time

I made it for you all by backing Kauto Star and Denman thus ensuring the BN fecal touch would anoint them both. If it wasn't for a Thousand kisses at 20's my Cheltenham could have been a disaster but Ms Walsh got me into ?20 profit for the four days.


Imperial Commander was a class act and I'm not sure KS would have won even if it didn't fall.


Well done Mr ????"s you called it from a week or so ago *doffs wad*

I know, kick a man when he's down. Come on, cheer up France should seal the Grand Slam and you'll have a good win.

    • Hello. Would you like a sofa bed? We have one to give away…photos attached. The scatter cushions are not included.
    • Complaint submitted.  Your helpful link took me straight to the relevant page. 🙏
    • I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience    
    • Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
