I've never been big on betting myself.

My experiences with bookies are generally limited to occasional trips to William Hill to put on a few accumulators (that never come through, obviously) so it's nice to see the inside of a small, more independent company once in a while. This bookies in Maghull always reminds me a bit of that one in Trainspotting where he goes into the toilet out back and falls in (yes, that scene) except it's nowhere near as grotty (although it is generally filled with middle-aged angry men). Riverside Racing offers all you could need from a bookies without ever really doing anything out of the ordinary, so if you fancy a flutter and you're in the area then you could do a lot worse than heading here.

Overall i would give St Benets Social Club 10/10

Ok. How do you go about reviewing an experience that was incomparable with anything else you've…read moreever had to endure? I'll just see how this goes. It was via a friend that we first heard about this 'haunted attraction', located on a secluded farm on the outskirts of Ormskirk - all sounding very Lancashire Chainsaw Massacre so far isn't it? Their website succeeds in not giving very much away about what to expect when you get there, and in some ways I don't want to spoil anyone else's experience by going into too much detail. So I'll leave out the specifics and keep it as broad as possible; that way the sense of uncertainty and apprehension that we felt remains for others! It's a ticketed event so make sure you pre-book well in advance as they only run it for the month of October and it's very, very popular - when we arrived there were at least 300 people in the queue nervously awaiting entry. When you finally get inside there's a large lobby area with toilets and a snack bar (no alcohol is served or permitted on site). Off the lobby are the three zones - let's call them Zones of Terror or ZoTs for short. Each ZoT requires a bit more queuing but that only helps to add to the unease and doesn't take too long really. The organisers change the theme each year and for 2014 it was 'Revenge of the Dead'. The ZoTs were named 'Meat Locker', 'Psychosis' and 'Terror On The Farm'. You enter them in small groups. Let's just say "expect the unexpected at all times." Don't worry, you won't be touched by any of the 'cast', they have a strict hands-off policy. Apart from that, it's 'gloves off' horror and scares. The website says to allow about two and a half hours to get through all three ZoTs, but it's more likely to take you less than an hour and a quarter. I can only say you need to try it, even if you don't scare easily it's still fantastically well done - we'll definitely be going back next year. I mean come on, the horror sequels are always better...
