What do you think is the most costly/expensive item that is traded by weight?

I have been informed that begonia seeds are more expensive than gold dust.

Antimatter?
I think it used to be saffron.

Is it anything to do with the manufacture of protective coatings?

Saffron is the right answer! (well at least according to my sources)

OK, another one, what, under jockey club rules, are jockeys not allowed to wear?

if beards is the right answer - perhaps its got something to do with identification, to stop jockeys being switched - or is it just the horses they worry about?

Can the horses wear beards then?

Oh, what a picture you've conjured up, HildaW! All the jockeys with great, bushy beards like a team of Rumpelstiltskins.....grin

grin Now that term Anagram I'd always associated with American football ...a bit like boxes for English cricketers??

Somewhere in back of my highly disorganised mind I seem to remember something about jockeys and ladies tights??

Beards/facial hair is correct!

You are a clever lot!
