many memories of me mam even though she croaked nearly 30 yrs ago, the thing that always sticks in my mind, is her in the bookies, she only used to put 1 shilling on a rank outsider, cos she liked the name or summat daft like that, the amusing thing was they nearly always won, n all the seasoned gamblers in the bookies, if they were having a bad day, always used to ask, what ya backing "Peggy"
used to crack me up, they would be putting £5 or £10 on a nag, n me mam just 1 shilling, thats why i believe in the "Luck Of The Irish"
