Morning all, madam has made it known that she would like a coffee maker. She doesn't want the full works just a reliable machine that will provide a HOT frothy cappuccino. I had a look around and found a John Lewis product that was recommended, sadly it's out of stock and not likely to be...

Didn't know that Crisp's 'jockey' was now training racehorses!

I thought there was already a thread on this......can't find it! I wanted to do some research on trainer/jockey/course combinations - it was easily done on the old site but I can't find such stats on the new/improved/upgraded HAH!! site. Are they hidden away somewhere on there? If so could...
