We had a strange Xmas tip from one of our customers. Not the usual cash or a bottle of wine.
He's a well off retired businessman who would class himself as a " professional gambler ".
Every time we do his windows he is sat in his study with sky sports horse racing on a continually placing bets, or laying bets.
When I say every time...I mean every time !
So we turn up to do his windows on Dec 20th. I start round to the left and Andy starts round to the right.
20 mins later as we're meeting back at the front of his £55 clean Andy says to me that we need to go round to the study cause the race Is starting ! Race ? What race ?
He'd given us both a fiver each to put on the 3.30 at Southwell. Andy put both bets on ( cough cough ). One was 4-1 and one was 12-1. In fairness he only had the option of picking 2 numbers between 1 and 6 without knowing the odds.
We won sod all !!
Hey ho....
