Seems that 2/6d was a standard rate, Otis. I got the same for being in the choir at weddings. The best earner that I had was working on the track at the Bees on race nights. Got in free, best view in the stadium and paid ten bob each time.
I thought that Mason had a good debut. He reminds me of DiKE. Because he's not very big, I'm sure that Scunny were targetting him but he handled that pressure well. He'll be an asset to the team this season.
It sometimes seems to me that Mr Barnier's constant objections to any proposal put forward by UK is an attempt to force us out with no deal, rather than an attempt to make us stay.
