No worries Speicher old chap(ess). You'd have laughed not been surprised. At least that's what 99.997% of all women do when they see him 'in his glory'.

Has everyone been away on holiday? Why did you not send me a postcard?

I sent you one Speicher old chapess. It's with Royal Snail so expect it any time in the next century. I really should be careful complaining about the mail. After all they may find out where I live.
I got a Father's day card yesterday, posted at the same time, in the same box as another item from No.2 son. That arrived halfway through last week. Meanwhile we've been waiting for a parcel, due on Friday to no avail.
I'll be going to York show for just one day, probably Saturday as I'm waiting for a surgeon to decide if my dicky knee is worthy of a knife or the shares in Cocodamol will stay high. Camping is so hard on the knees what with putting the tent up, taking it down and rolling the damn thing up. If I time things right I'll be able to miss the SBGG otherwise the best looking person on the field will be seen with... the SBGG.

One appreciates that there are times when one wants to 'slum it' a bit 
- but surely there are limits 
.
When one has had the experience of slumming and the years advance, surely now is the time to have the Byegad Towers staff trotting dutifully behind one, all primed and ready to erect the tent [Ooo-er
], prepare the hot bath, warm the ground underneath where one will repose, establish the correct location of the chaise-longue etc etc.
Bed-warming itself is entirely optional.

Sadly the York Rally authorities banned the Byegad Pavilion five years ago. They said as it could be seen from orbit it was too large to count as a tent, and anyway they wanted room for at least five other people on the campsite.

It will be an odd sort of rally with only six people there.

Which is why we were banned. I suspect envy played a part and I would have allowed the staff to attend, 50% each day, taking attendance to several hundred each day.

Yes, but would you have invited our esteemed SBGG to attend? Always assuming that he has not gone on holiday to the Maldives, ......without me. 
Furthermore do you allow your staff to look after SBGG?

Don't be silly Speicher. Of course I wouldn't. We Aristocrats didn't get where we are by being nice to people (Except by toadying up to the King or Queen of the day.). We got where we are by grinding the rest of the population into the mud and working them to death The self styled SBGG is frankly a peasant and deserves to be flogged for his presumption in trying to 'better' himself above the station to which he was born. If it was a wet weekend we may have allowed him to wait by the main entrance to the Byegad pavilion and throw himself into the mud for us to step on him and so avoid muddying our expensive footwear.
FTFY !

Siding! That explains the rust. I thought his El Cheapo leg repair screws* were leaching through.
He claims they were titanium but I suspect they were Japanned black from the local hardware shop. I know for a fact the 'surgeon' has a certificate from Calcutta University Veterinary School with 'Failed' printed across it.

Looms like I had a lucky escape with York. The clip someone put on the VV forum showed high wind and mud on the camp site. As the Byegad marquee has more canvas than the Cutty Sark the servants would have been too knackered to do the rest of their flunking over the weekend. Hopefully I'll be there next year.
