| THE CITY OF LONDON TOWN CRYER (AVAILABLE FOR ALL EVENTS ) |
THE LG LONDON EVENT IN REGENT STREET WAS TO SAY THE LEAST DIFFERENT ,AS OUR SUPERB RAIL SYSTEM LEFT ME ARRIVING 2 HOURS LATE,I
MISSED MOST OF THE PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES THAT WERE ORGANISED FOR THE PRESS AND HAD TO CONTENT MYSELF WITH A WANDER ROUND THE
MAKE SHIFT PADDOCK WONDERING ,LIKE MOST PRESENT ,HOW THE POLICE WERE GOING TO COPE WITH THE EVER INCREASING CROWDS .IN THE
END THEY DIDNT .IT ALL ENDED WITHOUT THE FINAL LAPS BY ALL THE CARS BUT THE CROWD LOVED IT.MOST SAID THEY COULDNT AFFORD TO
GO TO A PROPER GRAND PRIX BUT MADE SURE THEY GOT TO THIS FREE EVENT ( BERNIE PLEASE TAKE NOTE,!!!!!!!!!FREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.)
THE PRESS WERE BASED IN THE SWANK INSTITUTE OF DIRECTORS BUILDING IN PALL MALL.THE USUAL INCUMBANTS OF THE BUILDING ,TOP
INDUSTRIAL DIRECTORS, WERE BEMUSED BY THE GAGGLE OF CAMERA MEN . ,PHOTOGRAPHERS ,SOUND GIRLS AND LAPTOPS THAT FOLLOW ANY
F1 EVENT ROUND THE WORLD.I OVERHEARD ONE WELL HEELED GENTLEMAN ASK HIS WIFE (TOO OLD TO BE HIS MISTRESS ) WHAT WAS GOING ON
."ITS THOSE DREADFUL MOTOR RACING PEOPLE DEAR ,THEYLL BE GONE SOON "
IN THE END I GAVE UP TRYING TO GET TO MY ALLOTED PHOTO POINT AND RAN FOR HOME . AS I RUSHED FOR TRAFALGAR SQUARE
I TURNED FOR A MOMENT AND SAW A HUGE CROWD ABOUT 300 MTRS BEHIND ME DESCENDING ON THE TUBE STATION LIKE A HUGE WAVE .I JUST
GOT PAST THE TURNSTILES AND THE STATION WAS CLOSED , A CLOSE ESCAPE .
