Non-runner

Looks like Arriva Cross Country has given up trying to appeal to female passengers.

The lame franchise has signed up the face of Channel 4 Racing, and super-misogynist, John McCririck to front a campaign for rail travel to Cheltenham Races.


McCririck earned the ire of the sisterhood by accusing Germaine Greer of "encouraging women to be above themselves".

He also managed to get himself thrown off Alan Titchmarsh's TV show for describing fellow guest Ingrid Tarrant as a "ghastly woman", whose estranged husband Chris cheated on her because she was no good in bed.

Mind you it's good news for McCririck, whose appearences on Channel 4 last year were reduced by 25% at the behest of TV bosses.

In the immortal words of McCririck: "Toerags behave yourself".
