Peter Duffield

where is the guy..

remember...he won the tipping competitions..
ran from 1 aug to 31 july...
with 2 months to go...he would be a clear winner..
the funny part...he never punted..

why not get a guy like that to tip on telly track..
at least the public would have a chance..

I think he had to give up commentating because of a 'terminal' throat problem.He was one of the best(like his dad) and I would be delighted if he is still around,but it didn't sound good at the time.

Yes Peter was a great caller and his dad Ernie? maybe we have another Duffield?

Yep, i grew up with him tipping and commentating - was the best!!!!!

DUFFIELD FOR TELLYCRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ernie was to racing what David Davies was to LM Radio those days....GRRRRRRREEEEETINNNGGGGGGGGS!

PS:
margaret: can we have Tellytrack on Easyview channel subscription (affordable option for pensioners, etc) pls?

And if I subscribe in my daughters name can we have 'student discount'?

Duffs Guide the fore runner to computform was agreat betting guide and ernie was in a class of his own!!!

Gregbucks:

The undertaking given at corporatisation was that 'racing will be taken to the mass via all sorts of vehicles, including free telecast..blah, blah..!!!'

Previously, I paid a once-off to Tellytrack (they indicated this) and received a smart card to activate and view Tellytrack. Then, the card was stopped and no more.

There is no discount on the Easyview (it's paid for subs)- in fact, pro rata, it is more expensive than the full bouquet!

As for pensioners- I am certain that there are 10x more pensioners taking their PA's & P-6's than many a young student.

Besides, casinos run 'month-end specials' (free bus, entry, a drink, etc) for pensioners. Stores also run "pensioners' Day' each week- newspapers give a discount on subs, Metro also has tickets for pensioners, etc.

Finally, I do not think it is ethical to berate pensioners; they served society (and are integral, respected components of many a family) who deserve what little pleasures they can (or wish to) indulge in whilst the younger ones are at work.

great post umlilo

many of our problems in life today are from youngsters is due to a lack of respect for elders.
