Waste of a day out

 

[Thackeray]

Cracking day out, always sunny, good laugh with friends old and new, hated by the Hendon aristocrats on here.

 

[Bob Fleming]

Have they listed who is speaking?
Doubt I'll make it as summer streets is on in Sunderland

Was going to post it’s always hot (touch wood)

Only remember one year it pissed down badly for a while and had to take cover behind the swan under elvet bridge

 

[faith brothers]

Wonder if my prick of an MP Tricky Dicky Holden is still saying he will go?

 

[Horley Chorley]

I used to enjoy watching the band's tune up, at the Market Place, then we'd head down to The Dun Cow, The Court Inn, and The Vic, for a few hours, before heading over to the Colpitts, around tea time.

 

[HABA87]

Fingers crossed some Durham Tories get the opportunity to speak on stage.

 

[gluepot]

There's a bloke who sells tickets to do a tour of Durham Jail tenner each they only do it on Gala day.

 

[Charlestonian]

Wonder if my prick of an MP Tricky Dicky Holden is still saying he will go?

I bet he doesn’t hang around for long, and I bet he also spends the rest of the day on Twitter complaining about the ‘loony left’ booing him.

I always enjoy the occasion and atmosphere. Great family day out, especially if the weather’s kind.
