During a race meeting a punter who was robbed of his watch and chain was so incensed that he bought a similar but very flashy chain and went to the course next day hoping to catch the thief. But the day passed without incident. and no matter how much tie flaunted the enormous “gold chain” it remained with him. At length, after the last race, a tough-looking fellow sailed up to him and said: ,'.‘Cdror it up, guv’uor, cover it up.i I’ve had it out five times already.”
