The art of being an English Gentleman (Pt 2)

Wake up late, arrive early. Stout brogues, appropriate suit, shirt and club tie. Follow the form in the first four races, don't bet on the 5th race, finish 3rd bottle of Champagne, move on to crispy white, bet heavily on 6th race, collect winnings. Get train back into city, go to regular dimly lit previously smoky haunt, regale bright young things with tales of derring do. Arrive home late, wake up late, order bright young thing a taxi, fix stiff drink and sit outside in the garden watching the world spin by.
