Before any of you post non football Rob has given me the green light to mention that it is Armed Forces weekend and Cleethorpes is awash with folk wearing Town tops, this truly demonstrates support for the club !!

Last war worth fighting was WW2. The glorification and celebration of it all signifies the billions wasted yearly.

Could be wrong but I would estimate around 100,000 people in the resort today.

Yeah agree with this also at the Oliver’s restaurant and a woman who was a customer asked if her disabled son could use the inside toilets but was refused, when she protested to the owner he got a bit aggressive as I suppose he’d had this a lot and h told her if she had a problem go and see the armed forces day organisers, I felt sorry for her and he maybe could of let her use the toilets but I suppose he did have a bit of a point.

I went into Town today (lunchtime). Got off the bus at the station and saw a huge crowd queuing outside. Apparently it was all the people who'd tried to get on trains to Cleethorpes but couldn't because they were rammed. Whilst I was there the Barton train came in from Barton. Those of you who "do" trains will know that the Barton train is usually one carriage. This was three and totally rammed. According to station staff it had been like that since 10 a.m. Unheard of goings-on.

As do all the women who contributed to the war effort. Let's not forget them.



No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

Il be honest apart from being a day out on the urine in the sun for most, the event itself was a bit excrement, I see 1 aeroplane!
Hopefully tomorrow will be an improvement.
