Hello John, well I can talk a lot on horse physiology/ailments/cures/riding etc......but not anything about picking racehorse winners.....

I am interested in listening to WW2 or even WW1 stories, or the naval convoys from America or supplying the Russians via the Baltic....

I have joined in the boy-talk about cars, and football. and even boxing, because Dad used to get me out of bed when I was small, in the early hours, to listen to the live broadcasts of the Rocky Marciano fights.....

Dad always wanted a boy, and often called me 'son' even though I was a dainty girl......

So, give it a try John, any topic you like, I am sure we will join in...... sally

Jacqueline - Been a long time since I heard that line - but please don't call yourself 'Jack'...lol John
