my parents bankrupted our street
My dad was fixing a computer at some stables down south, while he was there one of the stable hands got talking to him and gave him a tip for a race a week later claiming this horse could not loose.

My dad got home told my mum about the tip, the next day my mum raided the savings account and placed a big bet on the horse to win.
Being a gobby twat my mum told all her friends who went on and told their friends and before you knew it most of the street had placed a bet.

So come race day the street was buzzing everyone was laughing and joking thinking they was gonna be rich after the race.
The race started and a few minutes later the horse trotted in at 6 place.

Needless to say we wasn't very popular on that street for a few weeks

Yes, this was obviously your parents' fault.
I place all of the blame squarely at their feet.

you're neighbours are idiots
surely anyone with half a brain knows that there's no such thing as a 'sure thing' in gambling.
