Ford Zephyr under and to the right of the tree?

No - I've booked that as a Ford Cortina.

There used to be a song about a Ford CorTina & Peter Shilton. Bet you know that one.....

You are on the right lines......

Bottom left is a Ford Anglia, then an Austin A40 I thought. Top left is a Cortina.

Bottom left is a Ford Anglia, then an Austin A40 I thought. Top left is a Cortina.

Ford Anglia, yes.

A40? - possibly, but I think it's an A30.

Cortina, yes.

There are 8 or 9  "identifiable" vehicles, & I think I can identify 6 of them. Three deffo from the front row, the 2 from the back row, deffo, & the car just leaving, between the back & front row.

The front row is the problem, that vanny job on the far right, & the black one.

[tikay]

Austin A30 complete, it seems, with Mrs Bucket.

[tikay]

The rather bigger Austin A40. This would not - ever ever - be it's original colour!

[tikay]

...and this was the later model, super-streamlined, state-of-the-art Austin A40 - in fact, I now think this is the 4th from right, front row.

Tom (Red) just rung from Bristol, there had been a bit of hoohah on his Table.

One player, in the hand pre-flop, but yet to act, had his cards accidentally mucked by the Dealer. It's not clear if they were "protected" or not, but it's not really relevant in truth.

He hollars "oi" & asks for his cards back.

Dealer says "ok, what were they?, whisper them to me"......

At which, as you can imagine, there is something of a mass protest by the rest of the table. So the Floor are called.

Floor says "fine, he can have them back, what were they, whisper them to me".

And the player did. And he did get them back.

I must try that one.

Anyway, Red is on 16k, Thewy 14k, Blinds go 200-400 next, & RA's emerge, too.

No way!!  This has got to be one of the worst ever ruling's at a high profile tournament.

It does seem, shall we say, a little eccentric, particularly for such a Major Event.

indeed..that's awful...the sort of thing you don't even find in a 5'er rebuy anywhere.

Red was a bit, err, exasparated!

He should have a pie to calm him down.

Well it is Gala after all....

Far more importantly, how many glasses of red wine has Tom had and has Julie caught him up yet ?
