They are a lot different to 30 years ago.In those days it was frosted glass on the doors and when you walked in a blanket of smoke hit you, coughing and spluttering you had to find your way to the counter.
Nowadays its shagpile green carpets,coffee machines and air conditioning.You slowly glide to the tables slide the betting slip out and with a 1 inch long pen provided write your bet in the comfort of the plush seating.Place your bet, watch it win on one of the many tv screens and collect your money and leave smiling as you walk out the doors.Even head to the coop next door and treat yourself to a pack of 4 lemon cupcakes to take home with your tea.
And lovely staff … don’t forget the lovely staff! hahaha …
