    Post Grand National, Aintree - 2016

    ... Keith will be kept busy today. Here, then, is my tip :-

    'V-Neck' ... it's a good "jumper"!

    ... methinks my 'little' must've gone over its readers' heads.

    "Jumper"... taken in its literal context is, of course, someone or something that s - [in this case] - a horse leaping over hurdles. We ALL know that ... ... it's self~explanatory. But ... how many knew that up in Scotland, 'jumper' is a word frequently used to describe a pullover or jersey?

    ... just saying!

    Ah, I wasn't sure, Jamie ... because Myrna said she *hadn't ever heard the word being used to describe a 'sweater' in the Philippines.

    Mind you, *that isn't altogether surprising ... given the sheer humidity over there.
