I grew up in the country amongst fields of golden wheat, mucking out cow pens in my summer holidays and shooting rats with air rifles. Idyllic.


So the idea of a country show in Brixton is quite bizzare and I have to see it with my own eyes. I will be going tomorrow afternoon - see you in the tractor section...

I too grew up in the country, however I must have missed the Jerk bbq , urban sound scape, crustie's plastic policeman part.


For me it was so much more .....well, "defensive" & I had loads of legit guns.


W**F

Have to say I had a great time yesterday afternoon - was a bit gusty but really enjoyed it. Not many rude boys at all in sight and a real family atmosphere thanks to a rather impressive policing operation around the fringes.


Had some of the best jerk pork I have ever had and watched two sheep dogs rounding up some ducks. Also enjoyed that sea shanty band and the cider! Will def go again next year if I'm about.

I was somewhat disappointed with the show this year. There certainly lacked the usual busy busy vibe (perhaps down to the weather).

Noticed a fair number of stalls that resembled a car boot sale which seemed a little out of place. Not enough craft stalls and activities and quite a few different types of stalls (massage, paintings, and juice stalls) were all mixed together not necessarily making sense as compared to other years.

The cider one certainly was quite popular having noticed loads of 4 and 6 pint containers being carried around by young and old.

The "debate" tent was just too silly (amusing).

I was quite disturbed in the animal sections as to the treatment by the "volunteers" towards some of the animals but I shall keep those views to myself (I was quite surprised I felt like this).

In contrast though, the eagles from Eagle heights were a delight even when flying slightly further a field than planned.

The music, as always, was rather fitting for the country feel even with the relaxed attitude of the performers and not knowing who was doing what when. The smaller bands were also not drowned out by other stages as is usually the case each year so that is a good positive plus.


A bit hit and miss is my view.

It was amazing.


2 male owls flying in formation - the owl master even mentioned that he's done wedding where he's had an owl fly in with a ring and presented it to the groom.


Sea shanties, vicious dubstep, a lorry simulator.Britain's Got Talent Irish Dancer Neil Horan and Observer Food Critic Jay Rayner both spotted.

    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
