As I have said before...thru the years, different generations do different things. Time was when it was "cool" to jump off the Weirs Bridge, or jump the Mount's wake. Foolish things, but great stories/memories.

Miller told the judge that there is a time and place for skimming and that he races professionally in the sport that will soon be showcased in Epsom.

"You'll excuse me if I don't attend," McKenna concluded.
Apparently, Miller is a slow learner of his own wordage...
