SO here is what keeps me up at night...
I call a #flashlight a flashlight, other parts of the world call it a #torch. I think I understand why.
I call an #elevator an elevator, others call it a #lift - I think I even understand this one.
But the one I just don't understand, is calling #customers #punters - that one has always confused me...maybe someone can explain it

Dire warning for #horseracing in the UK...
"Punters in the 65 to over 75 categories spend between 75 -86.5 per cent of their betting activity on horse racing. But that percentage drops to 23.8 in the under-35 category."
