You may not understand the above terminology but it used to be an engineering joke years ago when men were men and the ladies were glad they were!

Now then on a serious note ........ forget the betting tips etc for the moment. Alan's daughter (my stepdaughter) has just phoned to say her Dad died today so everything up in the air at the moment. Apparently a heart attack but we all knew how upset he was regarding Ann's death a few weeks ago, so we assume this was a factor. Just thought I'd let you know as I know you love your racing and followed his horses.
Sad news, which hasn't made the press yet. I hope someone in the family keeps the famous green, yellow chevron and sleeves, red cap colours going, they have become an integral part of the jump racing scene.
