I'm not going to post my report on the Hounslow Midsummer 25 because I don't think it has enough general interest. However I have extracted the following paragraph relating to the new vets' standard table. I believe there are some people on here old enough to have a point of view on this subject, and I'd be interested to hear what they have to say.
"The vets’ standard result once more pointed up the failings of the new vets’ standard table with the vets’ result being identical to the scratch result. Nic’s plus was 7 minutes 06 seconds, Rob’s was 4.36. Under the old system the score would be Rob: plus 11.30, Nic 7.37. Similarly in our 100 Adam Topham won both the scratch and the vets’ prizes; with results like these it is hard to see any point in vets’ standards under the new arrangement."
