If you're going to the Royal Norfolk Show on Thursday

Recommended Posts

Pop along to the EDP stand where I''ll be armed with my trusty video camera giving you the chance to voice your opinion on all things Norwich City.

Would be wonderful to see as many of you lovely people as possible.

I don''t think I can make it.There''s only so many tractors, goats and armfuls of free stickers/assorted crap a man can deal with.(ok, I haven''t been since the mid 80''s, I assume it''s still the same?)

You''re right Herb, but they also have llamas now.More llamas than goats in fact.

Bloody Norfolk show.Everyone west of Norwich who uses the A47, and has to work for a living in Norwich will be stuck in a traffic jam for 2 hours getting to work, probably on one of the hottest days of the year too.  And all because half the county acts like they haven''t seen a cow for 12 months.

 I got dragged along by Mrs Beachbum a couple of years ago, after not going for ages.

Its full of market stalls, food stalls , craft fairs, uninteresting main ring events, gymkhanas, and assorted farming machinery and livestock.

 

I am Norfolk born and bred , but know nothing about farming and dont want to.

Radio Snorefolk goes on about it as if its something fantastic that the whole County goes to.

They dont, probably only about 12% turn out.

My family have competed there for years - it makes a nice change to be able to compete against some of the best in the Country without travelling miles to do so.

norwich store selling tickets for the show about £2 cheaper than buying on the day! Can use the tickets either day as well thought it was a pretty good deal.. compared to paying on gate!

If you''re NOT going to the b*oody Royal Norfolk Show then steer clear of the A47........

Got caught there for an hour this morning at 9.30 driving into Norwich. Queue built up on the Norwich side of the Dereham by-pass and it was stop-start-stop from then on until we reached the Southern by-pass. Nightmare.

Can''t understand why they''re encouraging kids to visit on a weekday. Most of them should be at school so perhaps the truant officers should have a good swan round the site. Be like shooting fish in a barrel........
