Default Americana,They dont want me there!!

Mornin All
arrived at The Americana 1.5 Hrs early and they sent me away
met with mr jobs worth at the gate and told Elf and Saftey still inspectin so go drive round for a couple of hrs and come back, I did ask if i could park up on the 35 acre drive way but was told there is no room, damn clever these camouflaged motorhomes cos I coudnt see any on there at all
Hey Ho
Parked up at a service station about a mile away from the show with free Wi Fi so just wasting an hour or so before attempt No 2
think i spotted Pete and Shirl (Arazona Cheif) tucked into a lay by/gateway near the grounds

It's a case of the early bird catches the jobsworth.
I bet they won't argue with Bruno when he arrives.

Americana's security mostly look rough, plenty of tattoos, leather, moustaches and ponytails. That said, last year I found them to be very professional and courteous, so you can't always judge a book by the cover.

No this was a proffesional Jw he even had the mandatory limp
came back still an hr early and there were 200 in the Q and we were greeted by the Hells angle crew who had it sorted in less than 10 mins
were parked up now Rory and Jans here, along with Roul,also Jock and Rita, we have just been joined by a Southwind but too wet to meet and greet so dont know who that is yet, bumped into Pete and Brian from the oswestry meet
weather grim hope things pick up
your roving reporter on the spot
