Any three NH racecourses in August, before the advent of year-round jump racing, and before Betfair reduced the betting ring to irrelevance. As I wrote on another thread at this time last year ...
First Saturday in August, the lounge of the Queen's Hotel, Newton Abbot, before racing, and seeing your mates again for the first time in 8 weeks Hard ground at "Dee 'n' Ee" Staying over at the Palace Hotel in Torquay, or Sampson's outside Newton Abbot (or a bench in that recreation ground opposite the station) Stephen Little, Conky Woods, 'Ave It On With Avalon Eddie the Shoe, Alan the Beard, Dodger McCartney Adge abandoning his passengers on the Exe ferry to work a couple of hours in the Ring at Newton That fishmonger's stall in the silver ring Plumpton and Fontwell, Penny Ffitch-Heyes  and Manhattan BoyMilton Bradley and Mighty Marine. And Grey Dolphin. And Yangtse-Kiang I don't think anything has given me more pleasure, profit and achingly happy memories than August NH racing before it got lost with the advent of summer jumping. |

He was certainly a one-off: the sort of character who makes Somerset what it is. Any place is only as good as its people.

Calling FATTIEWHITEYLOVESADRINK
Re: your Custom House choice. A Newham gentleman and sadly missed former stalwart of this Forum has asked me to contact you on his behalf. He thinks he might know you as that's his former manor. And I believe he was the Guv'nor. Apart from Danny Dyer obviously. And maybe Queenie Watts. Can I contact you via the Betfair Personal Messaging system to take this further? He'd do it himself but the Moderators didn't like his well-judged, statistically sound observations on many a pressing issue in Progressive Britain. Sorry to freak you out on a Sunday and all. Kind regards |
