The stunning bit of foresight was Cleese calling the track Exeter. At the time people called it Devon, D and E, or even Haldon. No one ever referred to it as Exeter apart from B Fawlty.

Did you know that Slough has the biggest Data Centre hub in Europe (2nd biggest in the world)?

Still can't work out which side to go when it's good to soft at Windsor.

Alan Argeband had a thousand to eighty each way with Ron Newton and Harry Metcalfe, and Dodger bet him 5 hundred to one on jumping the second last.

Dragonfly's SP was 14/1, so I'm pretty sure Argeband had a £1,000 to £70 each way at least. Eddie Avalon laid a hundred pounds to three each way first show.

(Also, the filly ran in the 3.00 at Exeter; perhaps the clocks went forward that weekend.)
