@AtTheRaces @drewpatrick3 how long have you been waiting to dunk your brother for!?!

@WattyRacing @racingoncourse Fair old trek from London 😂

@PolitlcsUK Yet it took them 7 months to repay my VAT return with no fine imposed on them. One system for them and another for us.

@Sean_Bowen_ @james_bowen_ should’ve got the JP job 👊🏼

@ezza147 @DubaiAce He’s not!! Mark Walsh has won more G1’s than McCoy in the Green and gold

@ListerLawrence @TheRAC_UK Had similar with @TheAA_UK. Broke down at 22:30 on the M4. Two hours later got trucked to a lay by next to a dual carriage way, waited another few hours before getting trucked to Cobham. Left the van there, got a taxi back home and got in just after 6am just an hour late for work

@nickluck Absolutely unbelievable man. To show such strength and courage after something so horrific. A man we should all aspire to be, the world would be so much better with more John Hunts in the world.

@soawwe @MartinSLewis I’m interested in this as well. Does this mean not only do I have to pay £300+ a year VED as its commercial but also 1.5p/mile and fuel duty even though most of mileage is done on petrol. I’ll go back to a nice diesel instead.

@nickluck @umbyrispoli @kevinblake2011 Unpopular opinion: As a farmer and ex horse owner I’ve never understood the lack of shutdown post movement. Auction houses I would imagine would be exempt like livestock markets. Because you can move in one direction as much as you like, it’s when you oppose the shutdown starts

@ThomasClay3 @InsiderEdgeBets Unbelievably sad news and a hard watch. Thoughts with friends and family of Tommie and to John Hunt

@WeaverRacing Because they own a house just on the edge of it. About 3 miles away from us. Complete with private golf course. How the other half live!!

@sevenbarrows @UnibetRacing See Nico, if you stick your tongue out no one cares about your hair

@carlhinchy But we don’t know if his printer works

@NHRACING2024_25 @plumptonraces To be fair we’re about three miles from Plumpton and still frozen solid from -6 Saturday and Sunday morning.

@FOBRacing Is that more or less old school than @sevenbarrows photographing a printed statement??

[Richard Drake @RichD91]

@TrafficWalesN @TomVickers7 remind you of anyone?!? 😂

[Richard Drake @RichD91]

@ThrimbyFarms @1GarethWynJones Have to say Matthew I agree with you. Hard to convince normal people when brand new tractors turn up. Very unlikely they’ll change their mind - requires restructuring/planning of business succession. Could bring positives for new entrants and children taking on the family farm

Let’s hope he’s more Dashing than Donkey tonight for a nice little profit

[Richard Drake @RichD91]

@DFrankcom Ahh I see. Assumed you did them everytime so you could see your returns. Good luck 🤞🤞
