I think the reason is that it is an event that a lot of families, especially those with young children, from the surrounding area go to for the day, we certainly did. <BR/><BR/>I certainly had a considerable order from the Albion Bookshop to replenish their stock of local history books after last years folk week, sadly as they are closing down soon I don’t expect one this year,<BR/><BR/>Now to battle with the docs irritating word verification letters, I managed to get one lot into my last comment here, five times it rejected my notion of what the squiggles could mean, quid agis medice?Michael Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499435016469020417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5368849060668744697.post-92084711207923816932008-08-13T07:49:00.000+01:002008-08-13T07:49:00.000+01:00Too big and self-important!!

I stopped going and paying good money for gigs when I couldn't hear a thing due to the drunks, the chatterers, the screaming kids who should have been put to bed hours ago. Yes, the pubs do ok, Tesco sees a blip in sales as campers stock up on food but other than that I don't know anyone who sees an increase in trade and, in fact, for some, the trade is down as locals go elsewhere. There is an arrogance among those involved who seem to assume we must all love Morris men and amateur musicians. At least, the Ukrainian dance troupes from Derby don't come any more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
