A 32-year-old woman from Whitechapel in East London has told The Whelk of her delight when her husband arrived home from a day at The Cheltenham Festival last week and revealed that he’d lost his entire month’s salary on a series of losing bets at the iconic horse racing event.
Mrs Tracy Dell, a housewife and mother of 5, told us: When my husband, Toby, told me that he’d done our entire month’s money in the bookie’s tent at Cheltenham I almost jumped for joy, so great was my delight.
“He only does it for me and the kids you know. He’s just trying to build a better life for us. I’m so lucky to have a selfless and devoted husband like him.
“Now, I can’t wait for Epsom to start to be honest. With any luck, he’ll remortgage the house and blow the lot on a 500 to 1 outsider in The Oaks”

Nope. It’s definitely, Whelk. We come from a long and proud line of working class delicacies, Peggy.

I run a small enterprise whereby people give me their cash and I pop it straight down a drain for them. Cuts out the middle man.
