(Just deleted my comment before I saw that it had a reply) I know that 'Tap dancing' is the joke, but I thought that the absurdity of Frankie Dettori being so small that he has to have a bath in the sink was funnier- who used to do the 'tiny jockeys' sketch in the pub, was it Harry Hill?
Frankie Dettori is a giant in my eyes. Jockies are not recognised for the sportsmen they are, they may be small but they are brave. In Rugby you might get hit by a 18 stone forward but compare that with a horse landing on you.
It is a diminutive character who looks an awful lot like Frankie. I made no derogatory remark about him or jockeys. I am well aware of the risks they face, which they do willingly. It very much feels like there is little I can write at the moment without offending someone. Maybe that's my cue to take a break
It is a witty caption and I didn't read the previous post as a criticism. Certainly, no reason to take a break - damn sight better than anything I can come up with at the moment! At times we can be too sensitive... please carry on captioneering.
Don't take a break, your caption is not offensive, I was just sticking up for Jockey's as everyone only seemed to focus on how small they can be. Frankie as a big personality and I bet he could Tap Dance if he wanted to.

I disagree, TAP dancing seems more apt in my opinion!

Thanks for the thoughts Michael. I am reluctant to make changes once it has received votes
