    Last time I went to Royal Ascot the ladies were walking (more like slushing) around with muddy dress bottoms and plastic bags on their feet. And 2-3 fur from the winning post. Lovely. Never again, unless I do it properly and they lower the admission price.

    Aww, and it almost matches my dress as well!

    If you see a young lady on the tv in a pink dress with a tea cosy on her head and an embarassed husband on her arm, you'll know it was me!

    Dexter,

    You should really push the boat out and go on Friday 4th. Always a great days racing without the huge crowds that go on the Saturday. I find that more and more the Saturday crowd is made up of drunks who come on buses from whatever drinking establishment they frequent. They appear to be people who only leave their hovel once or twice a year with the sole aim of getting plastered. Most of them never see a minute's racing and when they go to place a bet they haven't a clue either and end up arguing with the bookmakers, or worse still, the tote employees.

    I'll be there tomorrow. Last minute plan made with my mother. Should be a good day to enjoy. I've been to Ascot a few time and have always enjoyed it. But maybe I'm just easily pleased :D
