this prompted me to recall that well known figure of 1970's life..yes one Gordon Bennett!!
No matter what went wrong those days the first thing you said was
"Gordon Bennett!!"
if yer finances went squiff after placing yer entire household budget on the nag running in the 3.30 at Kempton..yez up came "Gordon Bennett!"
if yer woife ran off with the United Dairies milkman because she liked the flavour of his yogurt..yes youve guessed it
"Gordon Bennett!"
Now who this Gordon Bennett was is not terribly clear....
