I've spent too long talking to TalkTalk
Several more days passed, in the course of which we had a call from \"Bernard\" in India, who knew nothing of our frustrations, telling us how we could improve our TalkTalk plan. I don't know when it was introduced, this policy in Indian call centres of foisting British names on their ever-obliging operatives, but we've also heard from \"William\" and \"Derek\" in recent weeks. If the TV sketch show Goodness Gracious Me was still going, they could turn it on its head as neatly as they did with the gang of inebriated Pakistanis going for a late-night \"English\" and abusing the waiters. Flaxen-haired Englishmen would sit at a call centre in Melton Mowbray, phoning householders in Mumbai and introducing themselves as Sanjay. Anyway, with the fault still not sorted, my wife, Jane, got a text message from TalkTalk on her mobile, asking her to reply FIXED or NOT FIXED. At first she replied NOT FIXED!, but they couldn't make head or tail of the exclamation mark. The texts kept coming; she kept replying. Finally, five days after we'd reported the fault, a BT engineer turned up and took half an hour to sort out the problem. Then came another text from TalkTalk. FIXED or NOT FIXED? One could be forgiven for thinking that Lark, Swift and Sunrise are a pop star's daughters. Or that Saladin, Fatum, Ilas and Euphya are the children of the Turkish Prime Minister. But if, like me, you have just received the endlessly fascinating Marshalls Kitchen Garden Catalogue 2011, you will know that Lark, Swift and Sunrise are varieties of sweetcorn, while Saladin, Fatum, Ilas and Euphya are joined by Burpless Tasty Green, who couldn't possibly be the son of the Turkish Prime Minister, as varieties of cucumber.

Masta Plasta blasts his way to richest pot in Britain in Scottish Sprint Cup
The GBP 31,000 pot went to the trainer who has made a career of landing the big sprint money. David \"Dandy\" Nicholls is proud to hail from North Yorkshire and he likes nothing better than to land the major events such as the Nunthorpe - when he's not farming the Ayr Gold Cup, that is. Perth stages Britain's richest race today, the GBP 25,000 Langvale Homes Charleston Grange Perth Gold Cup handicap chase. Irish trainer Gordon Elliot is mounting a serious raid today, and has one of the finest jockeys in these islands to help him. Paul Carberry is aboard Elliot's Newton Bridge who has only finished out of the frame once in his last 11 races, winning six of them. Peter Monteith's Commercial Express could do well at long odds, but the message today is follow Elliot and Carberry.

Derby hero plays second fiddle to Silver Birch
It certainly comes into the fairytale category for Silver Birch's 29-year-old trainer Gordon Elliot who took out his licence only last year and who has yet to train a winner in Ireland. Much the same can be said for the 25-year-old jockey, Robbie Power, son of the triple Aga Khan-winning showjumper Con Power who was having just his second Grand National ride. Yesterday, Elliot issued a clean bill of health for the sixth Irish-trained winner of the Grand National in the last nine years. \"He's fine, in good order, and he ate up this morning. He has got a few scratches but nothing serious,\" said the former amateur jockey who rents a stable yard near Trim in Co Meath and who was the youngest trainer in Saturday's National.
