philmayfield 6,089 Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 No, dogs and betting are not my thing. Only been to Southwell races once in 60+ years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MRS B 490 Posted December 3, 2023 Report Share Posted December 3, 2023 I still go to the same dentist on Derby Road in Moth Eaton that I’ve been going to for 50 years. It was quite convenient when we lived in Castle Donington but not quite so now that we are in Loughborough. Gives my car a thrash up the M1 though and they are really nice there and will always fit you in if it’s an emergency. A couple of years ago I noticed the landlady of the first flat we rented in the waiting room and we had a right old natter. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don;t like the dogs you put £1 on and dogs just fly past. NOW horse racing is better as you watch your horse going round and you can see it win. You say Southwell races, have you taken your other half to LADIES DAY if not this is a must, all the race tracks will have a Ladies Day. live a little phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have had shares in some successful horses. They often have Fashions on the Field on racedays here. Some of the female entrants are stunning. Unfortunately at some of big meetings later in the day and due to the imbibing of a few too many Pimms No1 or similar, things can get a little indecorous with over exposure and showing next weeks washing often being a problem.

philmayfield 6,089 Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 Living only 10 minutes drive from Southwell racecourse I must confess I’ve only been there once in 62 years in the area and that was to a dinner one evening in a January. My only flutter is my weekly donation to the lottery which I look upon as a charitable donation! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
