Not one for betting and really cocked up with this game. Wrote out the slip and handed it across the betting shop counter. Young girl looked at the slip, the looked at me. She then handed the slip to the bloke next to here who once again, lifted his head and looked at me. He came down the counter and said to me -
''Sir, you want £5 on Manchester United to beat Crystal Palace 35 - 0 ?''. Yes please I said. he then asked if I knew the price. ''Nope'' I said, just want to put the bet on.
He then nodded to the girl and she put the bet on. As I turned to walk away he asked '' Why have you put a bet on for 35 - 0 ?'. My answer didn't make him laugh and left me convinced he knew nothing about football.
''Because I don't think Manchester United are playing that well''...................Trust Palce to ruin a good joke. !!

Presumably the young girl was Moroccan and the bloke was Belgian ?
Weird.
