It"s 1985 - Thatcher is in power, Sade is on the radio and the print workers have gone on strike, but this doesn"t stop a motley rabble of seven firm friends from meeting every Sunday in their favourite South London boozer for banter of the highest order. One day though, tragedy strikes, and one of their number receives some news which knocks him and his merry band for six. Reeling from this news and confused about how to deal with it, the boys meet and rally the only way they know how, in the the Dutchman with a few light ales and a lot of taking the piss. One day an unknown character approaches the crew and asks them a most intriguing question..."Does anyone here want to buy a racehorse?" This is the story of seven likely lads who embark on a unique journey in the name of their mate, and what happens when they just decide to go the whole bifta.
