I mentioned a week or so ago that the ladies of Liverpool seemed - facially speaking - to be of a strange orange hue. Or, as the Daily Mail columnist put it when writing about Friday's Ladies' Day at Aintree . . . "They came in all colours of the rainbow - but particularly orange. Once again, the aroma of fresh fake tan must have been as heady as the thunder of hooves." And this, I believe, from a fellow sister - Jaya Narain.

There are pictures but, sadly, they down seem to be in the on-line edition.
