Fings I learnt from T'pit
By: Bertha the Barge Date: August 24, 2014, 5:40 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
We will be there next year Ian , and I have learnt 10 lessons
this weekend ,
1. That I don't have to worry about Mattie upsetting folks as
everyone gave him a lot of time.. and for that everyone there
gets the most thanks - you were all true diamonds and
understanding
2. A somewhat jaded view of the series world caused a long time
ago- by other people- is wrong, out of date and I owe an apology
for holding onto that belief for so long.
3. I shouldnt have doubted Bertha's determination to get us
there and home
4. While Bertha is never going to win any prizes she can
certainly hold her head up as quite a few people took time to
look at her and ask about her and her history
5.. I am an idiot for not going before
6. If a brewery names a Ale Engine Oil don't drink it in
quantities like a series does the real stuff - it hurts next day
7. sleeping in the back of a 109 with #1 son is fun for the
first 45 minutes - then becomes an all out war for space, which
the 9 yr old wins
8. When asking an innocent question about " does that look
right?" within moments expect half the showground to be lying
under under Bertha giving some great ideas
9. Next year take my own roll of "Comfy bum bog paper- finding a
drastic shortage in the bog in the early hours wasn't the high
point of the trip
10.... If you didn't get the chance to thank the organisers in
person - write a 10 point list on Facebook and the forums so
they get the message....

One thing I learned, is that you end up talking to people like
theyre your best mate, and like you have known them for years..
and yet havent a clue who the hell they are!

In that case we did at least you relieved me of a few of the
queens currency in exchange for an excellent pizza that the boy
scoffed - leaving his old dad to survive on liquid nourishment-
luckily the beer was as excellent as the food
