The CPT usually gets quite busy when the rugger is on, same group usually turn up, but are never seen otherwise. They come in, speak in loud deep voices so as to show us all how knowledgeable they are about the game (like none of the rest of us have ever played), then after the game they carry on drinking because they're great at drinking (Hmmm), and by 10pm they're dribbling towards a scared looking girl, and then they fall over and go home!


God I wish I could be in their gang! :-S


Couldn't care if they're built like brick sh!t houses, any bloke who falls over by 10 is no man! Our own beloved Mockney Piers weighs about 1 stone, and I can promise he'd out drink these fools!


Ahem, sorry, I hate rugger buggers, put me off playing the game I used to love.

That may be he case in England but, as a valley's comprehensive school educated Welshman who lives around the corner from the CPT, I would like to point out that, in Wales, the game is very, very much a working class game...we're just a bit different to what has been described above! Thankfully...

I think I?m the only South African on the planet who knows sod all about rugby. People hear my accent and just start spurting forth this and that about the game. Normally I just smile and nod not wanting to let the side down by admitting my ignorance.


I can talk your ear off about cricket though.


And on review that appears to have precisely nothing to do with filming at the CPT. Sorry.

Rpike, it is still played in a lot of state schools, and I played myself from school through til I was about 22/23, but these blokes just turn up and annoy the normal rugby fan!


Having said all that, I played for a team in Liverpool, and they were not posh, the were absolutely psychotic!!!!!

Many apologies Jeremy for my sweeping generalition of rugger bugger type names but I think you get my drift. And, good man for pacing yourself. One has got to know one's limitations. "One", sorry I'm speaking posh myself now. I may well do the royal "we" next. This could be headed for the lounge methinks. CPT CPT CPT!

Apparently they were filming "crowd scenes" to show during the rugby?! Not entirely sure what they mean by that, but hey ho, that's what the guy told my friend when she asked!! Some kind of ad I guess.


They also filmed down round goose green, and then were off to do filming at a wedding. Bizarre.


As an aside, my friend rang and complained, as after they left Goose Green the catering company left loads of bags of rubbish behind which had split and gone everywhere. Would be interested to know if the refuse company came as promised and cleared up the mess?

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
