Bob, my great uncle too was an independent bookmaker with very swish premises in Tottenham Court Road, and a staff over 100 turf accountants. He also owned a very extensive mansion in Surrey. Sadly, in his late 70's he fell for what can only be described as a 'carpet-bagger', who, when he died not long after, grabbed his entire estate and went off to Canada to enjoy the fruits of her not very substantial labours.
Needless to say, I too shed no tears for bookies and also do not gamble.
