Well done guys - I imagine it was a quite an adrenalin rush if you have real money on a horse like that. I had 20 on MC just in case of a slip up but STS too short for me, although I suspect the odds reflected its class. I always maintain that horseracing is a great sport and I can admire STS performance even though not backing it myself.


I hope I have backed a thoroughbred in the 400m ladies tonight, and Richards will win, she was 1.41. I don't know what I was thinking of betting on athletics, but she seemed to coast home in her semi. Fingers crossed.

Depends how much you bet Lard - I suspect RD bet quite a lot and deserves his reward.



As for Celtic - I hope you win some money.

Bumping my own message just in case RD did not see my congrats from the previous page.....

Thanks for the congrats Mick and well done Quids too, interesting bet you've got there with Richards tonight Mick, do you know she has a history of choking on the big stage?, although to be fair she did look impressive in the semi against Ohuruogu. I think this is a race too soon after a lay off with injury for Ohuruogu so your money is looking good, unless...::o

    • There's not enough people talking about this - I've often worried about it too  One busy staff's mistakes will not make my pockets lighter, thank you very much. Thanks Sue and all the best for the new year. 
    • I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
