  In the States, "Grand National" is a series of car races- are you 
planning on entering yourself in Mechanimagus form, Neil?

  Hmmm....I wonder if Nancy Stouffer's law firm will take the case?


For years, I didn't know that a "turf accountant" was a bookie! I 
found out from reading James Herriot.
And all this time Hyacinth Bucket was bragging about her brother-in-
law (the unseen one, with "..a Mercedes, a sauna and room for a 
pony") being one, and I didn't get it!
