Just a word or two (rant) on my thoughts re the ignoramus's in the Spitfire Grandstand.
Why do they do it ? I mean why stand at the fence blocking everone elses view of take off and landing. If every one stayed seated the view would be just as good .
There was one absolute ar53hole who tried to climb on our table when the Vulcan took off en route to Goodwood!! to put it bluntly , he didn't succeed and actually took offence to the fact that I told him to "Don't you darn dare" his reply "It's not 'your' table" and my answer of "Yes it f*****g well is" he then sauntered off to annoy some other poor folks who had the missfortune of not having a 25 stone 6 foot two inch skinhead in their party !!
I have to admit to getting my own back (I know , very childish !!.....
) on a couple of them right at the end by also standing at the fence thus blocking their views when the two seat 'Spit' took off and did it's solo routine near the end. "We can't see" said some idiot who had been standing in the same spot every take off and landing!"Now you know how we felt for the rest of the show whilst you stood here blocking our view, now borrow my phone and ring somebody who gives a toss!!"
There were a couple of 'old boys' who weren't even taking pictures, (Not that 'taking pictures' is an excuse either!) just standing there with their binoculars. Once again the view would have been just as good from their seats (second set of tables back !!)
We have been going in the Spitfire stand for the last 3 years and have never actually sat in it (Or used the toilets !!) always sitting at a table in the sun. I am going to suggest to the organizers they put a notice or two up telling folks to stay seated (The same as in the Hurricane Grandstand) as the view is just as good from 20 feet further back.!!
