Seaside went racing one day and this is what happened how stupid was I ? seaside
seaside
I am at the races and I am watching the horses going around before they are going to be saddled.
I look to my right and see a person leaning on the rail who I recognize but I could not put a name to the face. You know how you do when you know someone but can not think where you know them from.
I was thinking I know how they talk I am sure I know them I will go and ask where I know them from so I walk over and I am now standing almost in front of them and just about to open my month when
I see in the corner of my eye this person looking on it then comes to me where I knew this person from I had seen her on postage stamps it was her Majesty the Queen.
Body swerve and away I go thinking how stupid am I. It was a normal meeting at Ascot by the way.
You've got form old pal !
Onlooker,
good afternoon.
Showing my age, the boy's from The Emerald Isle referred to their carbon copies as ''dockets!''
