For some reason I can't remember, I was in Frinton (where the average age is probably about 100) for the only time in my life, shortly after Freddie Mercury died. In a pub in the afternoon, three old stagers (a man and two women) were having dinner. Two of them were compos mentis, but the second woman had clearly tipped over the edge, and didn't join in much. The first pair got into a long lament about how terrible it was that the newspapers were full of this person that no-one had ever heard of, just because he had died. In particular, they were upset that the Mail had given up ten pages to him.
"Had you ever heard of him?"
"No, no-one had."
Then the third one suddenly interrupted.
"I've heard of Freddie Mercury."
"Yes, but had you heard of him before he died?"
"Oh, before he died? No, not before he died."

On the night of December 21st, 1988, a bomb exploded on board New York-bound Pan Am Flight 103 and ripped the aircraft apart, its wreckage then raining down on the sleepy Scottish town of Lockerbie below. All 259 passengers and crew perished, as did 11 local residents.

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots
