Girls do still wear Skirts and Dresses!!!

I thought the art of wearing short skirts and skimpy dresses was no longer in the arsenal of the modern women.

However, I went to York races on Friday, my first ever meeting I'm embarrassed to say, but they were out in abundance. Not for a long time have I seen such a parade of lovelies and their legs, I was stunned. Skimpy dresses and short skirts with splits right up the side to their armpits were everywhere to be seen - MARVELLOUS!!!

11 of us met at Sheffield Train station and caught the 9.54 to york which arrived in York at 10.40 on time. We piled into two cabs and arrived at the races in in good time, only having to wait 20 mins for the doors to open. After going in we went the restauarant in the county stand and had a stomach lining 3-course meal with copious amounts of the black stuff. After the meal we had about 30 mins to kill before the first race at 1.40, so we spent it placing our bets and drooling over the top tottie!

I backed Bahamian Babe in the 1st race on the nose and it romped home so it was a good start and after winding the rest of the lads up about being the only one who backed it we headed for the bar. We set up camp next to the guiness bar and milandra burrows - LOL!

I didn't have another winner all day but much of the black stuff was consumed and when we moved into the champagne bar it got very messy. It resulted in me calling for ewwweeee in York station toilets and nearly missing the train, calling for ewwweee again at the station in sheffield and one of the lads being left on the train as it moved off for Birmingham!!!

Luckily he woke up as it was slowing down for Chesterfield and he got home with no problem.

I thoroughly enjoyed me 1st experience of the races though and can't wait for the next one.
