Dear all
Did anyone else experience difficulties getting into the showground today?
When I arrived the traffic was queuing from both directions, jag drivers were "flashing each other in", in turn, but other drivers were getting frustrated and jumping their queue, then meeting jag drivers head on.
I had a head to head with a chap in a Focus who was not a happy bunny.
In the meantime, the young lad "SECURITY" in a high-viz jacket stood there with his hands in his pockets.
I had a word with him about safety and traffic management and he offered me his jacket with a few well chosen expletives.
If there wasn't an accident there today it was a very lucky thing.

I thought you looked a bit stressed! Good to see yourself, Paul and Norman.
No problem getting in for me, arrived early, parked right by the entrance. I was one of the first in and whizzed around picking up all the bargains whilst you were playing traffic wardens :lol:
