Steward at Aintree is walking the grand national course & he sees a man sitting on top of Becher's Brook. As he approaches he sees the man's got a fishing rod......'Hoi you'! he shouts.....'Whaddya think your doing?'.......'Fishing!' came the reply. The steward says........'There's no bloody fish in there, that's Becher's Brook'.......'We're running the Grand National tomorrow!'...But the man insists that he'll catch a fish....'Tell you what mate'....'If you catch a fish in there i'll give you £100, if not you give me £100'....The man tells the steward its a bet.....After 10 minutes the man catches a flatfish.....The steward says...'I can't believe this!!' ...So the man asks the steward to pay up.....'Ok!' he says...I'm a man of my word, here's your £25'.....'Hold on!' says the man........'You bet me £100 didn't you?'..........'Yes!' says the steward........'But you only get 1/4 the odds for a plaice!!'
