The other weekend, we hosted the Grand National.  Its funny how any uk event is treated with the highest of importance and done to the best of our abilities. We may have watch the race back home, or even popped a few quid on it, but as far as inviting loads of people over, laying out cup cakes, pims and hanging the union jack on the wall, people would have thought we were going over the top.  We even dressed up.

I managed to grab a copy of the race on YouTube, as it was broadcast in the middle of the night here and replay it at a more sensible time.
