But the foursome can only dream of joining in the biggest festival of the flat racing season because they haven’t a ticket between them.

They’ve just about given up hope when fate smiles kindly on them.

One of the gang, Linda, finds tickets to Ladies’ Day at Royal Ascot - the year it relocates to York.

Off go the hairnets, overalls and wellies as the four ditch work, do themselves up to the nines and head off to the races for a drink, a flirt and a flutter.
