Pigs and Octopuses
If a mere octopus can choose the winner of the 2010 football world cup, then can't a pig predict the outcome of the 2015 general election.
The Pennywell Bacon Stakes Steeplechase had four porcine contenders standing in for Westminster politicians: David Hameron (in blue), Ed Swiliband (in red), Pork Clegg (in yellow) and Nigel Forage (in purple).
But David Hameron apparently cruised home to a famous victory, so maybe it's a sign that if you do have any spare cash, the smart move might be to stick it on the Conservatives to win.
Having struck out recently in the Grand National I might just have a small flutter.
