Royal Ascot: The Yellow Rolls Royce

Currently there is a move to change the name of a West End theatre to The Sir Terence Rattigan. I cannot see any harm in this.

I particularly recall The Yellow Rolls Royce where Rattigan was the screenwriter and which was issued in 1964. It used this fine car as a link between three separate owners, the first of whom was some diplomatic bigwig who shipped his wife to Ascot for Gold Cup day (which of course is today's label). During that race his wife slipped away to commit adultery in the back of the yellow Roller. When the owner found out the marriage was ended and the car sold to some gangster in Italy. The story goes on......

I have no idea what will be going on in today's Ascot car parks and I fear that my ignorance will extend to the race itself (4.20). However, I elect to support Trawlerman at 9/4.

Safer money will be made by purchasing REA (RE.) at around 90p or better. This company has been coming right for some years now but it must now be seen as obviously cheap.
