GRAB A GRAND FOR CHRISTMAS

Winners hard to come by for David Ashforth on his annual Christmas charity quest

"The goldfish in the pond are okay but I'm drowning in a sea of loosing bets.

"DAVID ASHFORTH watches a dark cloud approaching Folkestone and hopes it's the end of the world - yes, things aren't going well for our hero on day two of our quest.

"OH DEAR. I've woken up. When I woke up yesterday, I had to win £1,000. When I woke up today, I had to win £1,435.53. Tomorrow, I may stay in bed. I think I might listen to Woman's Hour on the radio.

"I thought Folkestone might be abandoned, but the Lord was angry and did cause the racing to go ahead, even though it was jolly windy and, having studied the card, it was a 'no-bet' day. A little Placepot, perhaps?
