    “Trained in Lambourn, a winner at Perth…delicious irony”.

    Let’s hope they planted a tree to offset it. ;-)

    Only a month until the great annual Glastonbury hypocrisy as well..

    You can absolutely guarantee it is either cost-cutting or some misguided PR initiative, possibly linked to them being awarded a ‘green’ accreditation if some sort.

    You do wonder with pricing, food and drink costs and initiatives like these that they are almost actively discouraging customers.

    Carbon zero and carbon footprint is a modern day farce. I worked for a company that achieved carbon zero and it was laughable and achieved through a box ticking exercise which nobody checked you just paid a tidy fee.

    The more I know the less I understand.

    Checking the Cartmel website, there is a concert after racing that day, hence the steep price. Same as Aintree last night.

    I can see the attraction for Cartmel. I expect costs a lot more than £59 to see Olly Murs in a normal concert venue. They know it will be a sell out and the bars and food outlets will do great business as well.

    Not much consolation for anyone who only wants to watch some horse racing.

    Customers of business shocked to discover that profits matter more than they do. More at 11.

    “Nobody checked you just paid a tidy fee.”

    You can always guarantee someone is making money out of these ideas.

    In other news, since becoming our latest distinguished Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer has taken domestic flights worth £102,000. Presumably in those special aircraft that are powered by batteries rather than that nasty aviation fuel. ;-)

    I will start taking this seriously when the people who lecture us start practicing what they preach.
