Will people still turn up even though the organizers have cancelled? The Gate Persons (Devon & Cornwall Police) will still be there but the riot gear and water canons have been put away. (With some regret maybe?) OK. OK. I don't think for one minute that the water canons and riot gear were ever brought out in the first place but some local reaction suggested the should have been. Anyway, we will find out this weekend if anyone makes it past Exeter.
Meanwhile there was an item in the local press, it's fairly long with lots of comments left by readers. Click here if you want to read it and the comments which range between "Thank God" and "Torbay has just missed an opportunity of a life time".
Following on from the missed opportunity, one part of the item is as follows;-
Christian Seiflow-Moran, chairman of Torbay Chamber of Commerce, said before news of the cancellation: "I don't necessarily see 10,000 people coming to Torbay as a bad thing. If it became a yearly event, one that is organised sensibly and securely, then that would be a massive thing for us."
Well Christian, you are chairperson of the Chamber of Commerce, what better person to organise such an event here in Torbay so get organising. You could have a Mid Summer Party organised by next year to rival Stonehenge and I am sure Facebook would be willing to give it a brief mention.
Go on. Put your money where your mouth is. It could be the best thing to happen in Torbay since the Ice Age ended.
Sorry there hasn't been much about bus driving for the last few days but I have been working on a project that looks like it may have been a bit of a waste of time. We'll see.
