The Grand National

Grandmas everywhere have a flutter on this race.Even though she never watches another  horse race all year  this one is a national event and this Grandma backs  horses for herself and several family members so they can gather around the TV on Saturday afternoon and scream hysterically for their horse.

Grandma fancies Midnight Club.
Grandpa fancies State of Play

It  is easy to do online, not like the old days when you crept into a book makers hoping the neighbours would not see you.
My Grandmother, Henrietta Hancock owned a bookmakers premises next  to her corner shop in Adnitt Road, Northampton when I was a little girl.
She often had a flutter for me -- I would get the winnings quite frequently.
Always nice to have extra pocket
