Posted By jayjay How many of you had a bet on 'Comply or Die' on the Grand National on Saturday ? One of the site managers rang me on Friday saying that there's a horse that fits me down to the ground and gave me the tip of that horse. So i had a fiver each way on that and a fiver each way on 'King John's Castle' and they both came in 1st and 2nd !! Result ! 90 quid in my pocket. So who says Health and Safety doesn't pay. And before i get any begging letters it's gone ! Unfortunately my other half was sat next to me when they romped in so she had half of it. Oh well it was a bit of fun whilst it lasted. Regards, JJ

Posted By Rich Bannister Thought the horse was quite appropriate too! I had 5 quid each way while he was still at 8/1.

Posted By Rebecca Donaldson I looked at the runners on Friday and thought about putting a bet on Comply or Die, as both hubby and I work in elf and safety. Hubby was in the pub that evening and pulled Comply or Die out of the draw! how spooky. the first time we have made Health and Safety pay! Rx
