Re: idiotic racegoers

Hi -

The gates at the racecourse end are left open to allow all the cars to leave. As the field dips at the Ashton end, people who don't know the area only find out there is no exit at that end when they near the fence. As you point out, you would think the racecourse staff could leave the gate to the heath open until they closed the other gates, unless they leave the latter open till late at night for those who have stayed on after the races?

Re: idiotic racegoers

Hi
In a different posting by "Racas" he mentions 2)Does anyone understand the Baleric Effect.? I asked for a translation, then was told by the person whose computer he was using that they had a few drinks and he did not understand it himself.
The actual question strangely enough was relevent, the Baleric Effect, is about the effect tourism has on the Balleric Islands.(search engine)
Perhaps it is about time that the adjoining council looks at the effect tourism is having on A in M.
