@Newbury_Racing @RNIB_campaigns Quite disappointed in Newbury Racecourse policy only to provide a carer ticket to those with a Blue Badge or PiP letter. Crikey - a CVI direct from Moorfields not good enough!

I hope I come across as a rational being, but I am deeply incensed and fucked off with the e-Consult procedure to try to get a Dr's appt for my elderly Mum. Been to see physios twice, both indicating she needs to see a Dr. Indicate this clearly on form. Get another physio appt.

Hope Copper Knight enjoys himself on his last run. What a good old stick he's been.

I have read some tripe in my time, but the euphemism 'figure of some controversy' as applied to the deceased Jeffrey Archer needs putting in the dock for crimes against the English language. As, probably, does Archer for those effing books.

Thinking too much about this country can be pretty depressing. However (and I know it's a bit niche and not for all of you) I think the UK does a pretty decent job of concession tickets for carers.

Some countries (yes, you, NZ) have no scheme for officially registering partial sight/severe sight impairment and therefore no scheme of concession for essential companions.
