Well if anybody put money on Mon Mome they will be quids in! :shock: 100:1 winner!!!

 

I'm gutted - that would have been the one that I would have put a bet on. My OH was reading the list out to DD over the phone and because it sounds french I thought she would have gone for it. Then I though I'll bet on it but decided not to bother :wall: We would have done £5 or £10 - that could have paid off the run!!!! :wall:

Never - one year at work (in a bank) the accountant took 50p from my till after I flatly refused to join his sweepstake - he said he didn't care because he knew I would put my own money back in for the till to balance at the end of the day. This was done in front of witnesses - I was very angry.

I suppose yes - but in those days I was a bit of a mouse. Nowadays I am a right old dragon - if it were recent years he wouldn't even have dared - but then I would have been transferred to a different branch for upsetting the apple cart - something that was done to many that dared speak up!

I suppose things have moved on a bit (well I hope so - I encountered quite a bit of you know what harrassment working in a couple of City stockbrokers). :?:?

I had money each way on the second and fourth so made a small profit :dance: I'm the deputy manager in the bookies in town and it was my weekend to run the shop. Saturday was busier than ever but everything ran smoothly. I was very pleased with myself for proving I was capable of coping with it all :D Quite a few people backed the winner which was surprising. Our biggest payout was almost £1300 because somebody had £10 ew. For security reasons all our shops closed early on Saturday night which actually was a shame for me because a) we hardly had any cash left in the shop anyway so it was a pointless exercise and b) I still had loads of work to catch up on! So I ended up going in two hours early yesterday morning UNPAID to get it all done :roll: Apart from the race the highlight of the day has to be a woman who won about £700 squeeling with delight and doing a little dance around my shop :lol: She's a once-a-year punter and it brought her so much joy.
