Monster Truck Mayhem blamed
Monster Truck Mayhem blamed for gridlock in Worcester
Another reviewer wrote today: “Took 3 hours to get here to find out no monster trucks on until 7.30pm due to technical fault! Don’t waste your time getting here if currently in the gridlock queue in Worcester. We’re going home back to Bristol after 45mins!!”
One wrote today: “Poorly managed with traffic and parking, toilets ran out of loo roll and hand sanitizer at 1pm and the main event of the monster trucks was one real monster truck that was broke, started late and then was only on for 10 mins before broke down again. No water stations even on a hot day like today even Download can manage that.”
Organiser David Bailey said it was always billed as a monster truck show (singular) not a monster trucks show. He said a delay was caused when they had to re-gas the monster truck when a shocker burst and the vehicle got stuck in traffic.
“They were late getting back and the show went one hour late. The show wasn’t cancelled. It has been a success.”

National Trust raising
National Trust raising parking fees at White Cliffs of Dover site – but locals say they should park for free
Writing on the Dover for Dovorians Facebook page, Del Middleton said: “Then they can shove the cliffs. Why charge? It takes no maintenance, only the café.”
Andy Lawrence said: “And that’s why everyone boycotts Dover. I don’t blame people for not going there – better off going to Folkestone, Thanet or Deal.”
Shelley Stockbridge wrote: “So locals who keep the town running are now being charged to enjoy the nice parts of the town? You couldn’t make it up, honestly.”

Mystery frame and my most
Mystery frame and my most successful ever paint job. But, I’m out of space and this one will have to go.
Carlton was my best guess. I’ve struggled to get flamboyant shades (translucent over silver) to work: this one has. The contrast panels aren’t too bad either, but I’d take an unpaid stint at Argos to learn how to do it properly.
The frame had been resprayed at Argos, or at least it had their decals. And the dropouts wouldn’t spring either. There’s a braze-on front mech hanger – a suitable front mech took a bit of finding.
Another attempt at
Another attempt at approximating a Gran Sport. The photo doesn’t show how bad the paint and chrome are. I did find a reasonable nail varnish as a touch-up.
Not sure if it would be worth the £££ getting a colour match respray.
