I’ve been banned from a Corals in Bristol.
Here’s what happened.
On Saturday I had no intention of going to the Bookies, however as I was stuck in Sainsbury’s with the missus who was getting on my nerves, checking all the labels and all that stuff…I said to her, right, I going down the bookies meet me there when your done…
So, as I walked into Corals there was a table with some sausage rolls & mince pies on it, so I as you do picked up a sausage roll while walking past…
Anyhow about five minutes later this young lad came up to me and asked if I would like to take my turn in the competition…Well, I had no idea what he was on about, but as it turns out Corals are currently offering this competition on the FOBT. You get free credits and I’m sure we all know the reasons why. Well I declined this offer.
Fast forward to today. I strolled in without a care in the world only to be told by the manager that I have been banned. When I asked why he stated because I had been taking advantage of the facilities.
In short, I had taken and eaten a sausage roll without playing and presumable becoming addicted to the FOBT’s….. <!– s:D –>
<!– s:D –>Send this post off to Corals head office and add the link to this page, and watch what happens
Find out who the area manager is mate and take it up with them. I used to work for Corals (for my sins).Tell em you always bet with em etc etc lay it on and you’ll get some bet vouchers or summit. I know that aint the point but fu*k em get what you can from em is my motto.
I’d go easy on our Essex friends. These are hard times for all of us. Whenever I see them proudly claim that they’re not moving offshore and don’t send anyone to the course to rig prices any more, they always remind of the trenchcoated guy in the old Soviet joke:
“An old guy’s wife tells him to go to the butcher shop and get some meat. He goes to the butcher shop and stands in line for hours. Finally the butcher says, “We’re out of meat.” The old guy blows his top. He yells, “I am a worker! I am a proletarian! I am a veteran of the Great Patriotic War! I have fought for socialism all my life, and now you tell me you’re out of meat! What kind of a system is this?! You are fools! You are thieves! . . . ” A big man in a trench coat comes up to the old guy and says, “Comrade, Comrade, not so loud. In the old days you know what they would do if you said such things.” The big man in the trench coat makes a pistol motion with his hand. He says to the old guy, “Calm down and go home.” The old guy shrugs and leaves. He comes back empty-handed, and his wife says, “What’s the matter, are they out of meat?” “Worse than that,” says the old guy, “they’re out of bullets.”
Wait…there was free food in a bookies and I wasn’t informed.
Where might this Corals be, Pompete? I think we should grab ourselves a couple of baseball bats, a pair of balaclavas, leather gloves, an umbrella, carpet and go do some damage.
Is this ‘free food’ a regular thing?
Every boxing day the Ladbrokes up the road from me always puts on a spread of free food, sausage rolls, biscuits etc, i am taking my Dad up there this year for his lunch, it will be a bonus if they ban me.

Would this be the Whiteladies Road Coral/Sainsburys?
If so, I suggest going to the Winning Post further up the hill instead – much more friendly in there…
Its hilarious how some people seem to lack common sense and decency!
I never go in the bookies anymore (well maybe once a month or so) but I remember when I was living back home in Aberdeen a few years back. One ladbrokes shop regularly had soup, rolls, tea, coffee, stovies in there shop on saturday lunchtimes to encourage there patrons to stay and bet some more. All it cost was a donation in a wee tin by the food. Manager of the shop was in the running for betting shop manager of the year I believe.
Corals clearly dont understand the concept of the customer is king!
I met a friend in the Ladbrokes in Holborn yesterday. He was playing the FOTB so I naturally started giving him grief about what a twerp he was making of himself. The lady assistant said "shall I tell him or will you" with a wink. Turns out that they were running a "free" competition on the roulette to try and beat a a hi-score. I obviously turned down my opportunity for a go.
My friend then put on a bet on the virtual racing and a tri-cast on the dogs (with no reference to their form) before we mooched off for lunch! You can’t help some people

Did they let you go out the back or did they make you stand in the middle of the shop and take aim?!!
I suppose odds were layed on whether your pee went in the tin, you peed on your shoes or over a punter or a straight forecast; you peed on your shoes and had the smallest willy in the shop.happy by name, disgusting by nature!
I’ve banned myself from Corals after they were showing Khyber Kim as a non-runner in my local shop last Saturday…

Do they get their feed from the official BHA site
By the way, I was searching for you today on Facebook Paul, my old friend. I don’t mean to worry you, but I found the top result in the list when searching ‘Paul Struthers’ rather chilling. On inspection of said group’s wall there seems to be someone by the same name as the latest apointment to your Racing For Change Board threatening you with a machete next time your paths cross! I wouldn’t be winding up his old firm if I was in your shoes!
Interesting – I’ve not logged into Facebook for over a year so really must sort that out and see who wants to machete me.
