There has been
a lot of excited comment and titillating photo's in the media of members of the
plebeian classes, notably female, taking over the Aintree Races for their amusement.
So, what's
new?
Above is a 1937 picture of the
patrician classes who also liked a bevvy or ten on a good day out at the
races. I was there, at least down on the
Melling Road, when the Royal Car went past and was told got a cheerful wave and
smile from the lady.
Sadly, the
memory has been lost. Perhaps I had a
few lemonades too many.

ReplyDeleteQuite a few of mine have been lost too. The trouble is I can't remember which.
