Why?

On Friday morning, when we were being pressured to leave quickly, why were people being charged up to £20 to be towed out by a fleet of tractors? Apparently, the farmer was keen to see us all gone, but not if you couldn't or wouldn't pay!!! Confused

Money grabbing w*nkers!!!!!

And they were still charging people on Saturday afternoon, after it had dried out enough so that with a bit of a nudge from us, our friend drove out under her own (aircooled) power Cool

and on Sunday when we drove ourselves off.

Them there tractors do a lot of damage in the wet! If everyone had sat tight and waited, the campervan area at least, would have been much less churned up.

And, to add insult to injury. after hassling us to leave all weekend, we get held up Sunday teatime in the lane outside cos someone was stuck and they couldn’t get them out with a 4wd Very Happy

They should've called a tractor, £15 was the going rate by then! Razz

Still, it's amazing how long the kids can find mud fun!!! and it was nice to meet new people, even if I may not recognise you without a coating of Somerset mud! Very Happy

Maybe Kate'll stick some of our pics up in a bit, or tomorow or something.

I can't answer your points, but it is nice to see someone keeping the memory of Floating Anarchy alive Here & Now... Wink

Good to hear it still has a youth audience Smile

It's been quite a while since I heard it, although I have played H&N's Give & Take and Gong's You recently, which affirmed their places on my fav list. As it happens, during the latter days of H&N, Gavin & Keith were drinking partners of mine when they still lived in Kingston. Ah, fun daze...
