Fair enough Benatom. I didn't even send an articulate complaint as such, i merely pointed out that bookies - on this occasion Lads - were using the racing coverage for false advertising, Remember before the Big Bucks win, one of their presenters told us a punter walked into one of their shops and put thirty grand on it ? it's things like this that the punter should get on to them about.

I brought up Wiltshire telling viewers that someone walked into Ladbrokes and placed 30 grand on Big Bucks. It's false advertising.
