The Ron Cooper firm I meant bet at Leicester dogs. Bloke called Gil made the book at the dogs, but a very old man made the book at the races. Always had a bloke I think called John with him, possibly his son as I think he had the pitches when the old man died. Packed it in soon after getting the pitches. Worse a navy mac and a trilby every day.
