Yes, it’s a little tricky this one; its old skool Hearn, from the 80s, but I thought you’d be the man to get it Dan - it crops up in ‘Pocket Money’ a lot...

Seems I may have over complicated this...

It is a three word question, used a lot by Hearn in the 80s - kind of a WTF? of it's day - and if spelt correctly would come out as thus, with the vowels removed :

RYSR ?

But, because of Hearns Essex man accent, the author of 'Pocket Money' (superb 80s book about behind the scenes in the snooker world of the time) spelt it phonetically instead, as I have it down here :

RYWSHW ?

If nobody gets it in the next couple of hours, I shall reveal it and set an alternative.

<ok>

Oh, but we can't, because Horse Racing is so much more important than snooker.

I think Boys on the Baize is running in the 1430 at Newmarket.
