edscoble-
I am blessed with the sort of luck that if I was stood in the middle of an empty sports hall and the lights went out if I even tried to move one step I would trip over one of the painted court lines or slam into a hastily and silently relocated vaulting horse. My family used to each put a bet on a different horse in The Grand National. One year I was persuaded to do the same at work. Being a cynical, superstitious, tight wad my brain went into guilt mode and I secretly chose a third horse (in my head) as well believing that if it won I would have just reason to be pissed for gambling me money away.
All three horses fell at Beecher's.

I went to Blaenavon on a school trip in 1990. Got a souvenir photo too, will dig it out.
No dolls though.
Did get to go down into the mine and experience complete darkness for about 10 seconds. Very spooky. #csb
