wont be going this year ... again the chaos in the pits and paddock and the amazement at the end that noone got hurt as small children were wandering around where cars were moving at speed to grid up via the garages!!! but at least in the pits we managed to get some breaks!
The long days, cancelled breaks .... being too tired to go to invited parties, bbq's or even attend the fairground and concerts. OK it has to be admitted that missing Jedward was a bonus!!
The grief from a post chief when someone asked for time out, in a lunchbreak (?) to see family that had travelled to be there to be told if you take time off post you can go now for the day (having gloves thrown at them) ... they left post!!! they were one of those that had done all day Friday and Saturday and this was Sunday lunch; they were newbie and not at all happy!
