Touts Outside Cheltenham?

Jeezuz, will you lot get a life. I find the diversity of people at the course add to the colour and noise and texture of a race meeting. I'd hate to see you if you had a real problem.

To add to Grey's input - the fruit sellers are what we know in Dublin as 'dealers' - they are generational families that have been doing this forever, as well as keeping fruit/fish stalls in Moore Street in Dublin. They do nobody any harm whatever and if you leave a racecourse behind somebody like John Oxx or Dermot Weld (more OUR kind of people - eh?) you will see they will stop for a chat and buy a bag of fruit, and will know the ladies by name. If I have a spare ticket I will always gift it to one of these ladies in the hope that they can snag a tenner for it.

Spot on.
 
Agreed, the colourful ladies add to the gaiety of life, and good on Weld etc seeing them right - but there is a difference with those who really force themselves on you, as they do at Goodwood. Still, there's no violence involved so no harm done :P and someone must buy the stuff or they wouldn't persist
 
Hey An Capall I think this thread's hilarious now and I do have a life, maybe you could join your lovely pixie, goblin ladies outside the courses selling your shite bumper tips :D
