My great granddad was a tic-tac man in the 50's to the 80's at my local dog tracks so my dad would take me there alot but by about 1995 there was only 1 man left but can't remember his name. All I remember is that most were jewish.

wimbledon stadium round the corner from me was the last to go in London - there was a huge turnout for the last races, all the bangers and stock cars came down. sad to see it go, but glad to see the dons coming back to plough lane

Old fasthands Dean. Watched him many a night down Walthamstow around the time this was filmed. Absolutely amazing on an open race night.

I just had a dream where I was trying to explain to somebody about the guys that used to signal the odds to each other across the dogtrack. I’d even forgotten the name “tictac man”, I just remember being fascinated by these guys signalling each other with their secret hand signs… Thank you so much for posting this film. In these days of mobile phones, sadly the tictac man would never be needed, but what an amazingly colourful addition it made to the culture of the dogtrack. Watching this, I’m taken back to the 60s when our Mam used to work on the tote at Reading dogtrack when it was at the bottom of Norcot Hill. As a treat, our Dad used to take us down to watch the dog racing and all the fascinating craziness that went on down there.

Never had tic tac's in Australia at least in the last 50 years of racing and betting rings. Bookies used runners to go from ring to ring for odds. All that is long gone, three/four rings of at least 100 bookies is now a row of five or six bookies twiddling their thumbs hoping for a bet. Yes Betfair cost them but for the punter like me it was (yes past tense) a Godsend!

Tictac (Dean) is a legend. But don't get on his bad side, unless you're tired of your old shoes and want to get some new ones... He'll know what I mean :-)

Not without Tictac's consent, sorry. I guess I posted this in the hope that he would see it, remember, and smile. I don't really care if other people don't get it.
