I don't even see where the 'risk of injury' they all spoke about was coming from, Slimmers. It was soft bunny hop, without any hazrad coming from behind him. As somebody on here might put it, 'there'd be a greater risk of injury rolling off me mott's sister.'

In fairness, her Hennyness would have retired Best Mate after he won his bumper if Lucky Jim had allowed it.
