Big Mac

I see John McCririck (Big Mac) is to sue channel 4 for £3 claiming he was dismissed for being too old. Love him or hate him McCririck knows what he's talking about when it comes to horses, he's a fountain of knowledge and I love the Man, but that's neither here nor there, he's 72 and I think it's time to hang up his lips, he says this will be a sort of test case for the older people, do you think 72 is too old to be working in this day and age, It'll be interesting to see the outcome.

Re: Big Mac

I think he is a good old British eccentric and he certainly knows his subject but yes I do think he should retire now. No-one should be working in their 70s in my view.

I know how you feel Alan, the wife is the same, she detests the sight of him, especially after she seen him in his underpants on 'Big Brother'.
