You really are quite the tool, aren't you?

I think he was being funny mate.

I had my suspicions ... irony on the SMB is notoriously difficult to spot.

If that's the case @avacado , I don't mind apologising.

Seaham car boot is starting next weekend ganna be crammed in there like

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

Gonna be f*ck all to do or attend anyway when lockdown ends completely in June.

Not fussed either way tbh. I live nearby and it's easier to park on airshow weekend with the regulated/residents parking etc than it is on a normal warm summer's day.

Hope it’s bigger and louder next year for all the SR6 nimbys.

I'm as deaf as a post nowadays so it can be as loud as it wants.

I really don't see why this sort of thing can't happen. I really think we'll look back and think "yeah, we waited far too long to open up once we'd vaccinated half the population"

it's not just the time at the sea front, its the park and ride buses, the full metros and the various other modes of transport where people will bein close indoor spaces.

 

[Bob Fleming]

All restrictions over by June 21st IIRC?

Plus pilots, support staff, exhibitors, etc coming in from all over the country and abroad in a fair number of cases. Sad but wise decision.

To be honest its better recently for residents, the parking restrictions mean there re no sumbags parking on drives any more. Its an inconvenience but its only once a year - no difference to living near Roker and being jammed in every fortnight on a saturday or on Great North run route /london marathon.

 

[Gucci Massive]

Mags will have to put their tops away for another year.

They'd have been far less this year with them going down

 

[AndrewP]

I thought after June 21st things were going back to normal??

No chance of that.

That’s what they’ve told us to keep us quiet. If you read the small print it says apart from big events or something. However, I’m going to some big events over the summer and I won’t be wearing a mask or employing any kind of distancing if they do indeed go ahead as planned.

These the parking restrictions that have been in place for more than ten years of airshows?

Thats them

 

[BMX Bandit]

Thats them

So how recently has it been better?

 

[Grimes]

Surely this type of bollocks is only attended by blokes over the age of 40 who like to think they were in the war.

 

[herra soul mob]

think the bigger an event and thus more difficult to organise, more likely it will get cancelled earlier

 

[Upthere]

Good decision
