Where was James May tonight because he certainly wasn't in Bideford as the Gazette had hyped up earlier in the week!
I took my family over to the opening of the weekends events where James May hopes to set trains off from Barnstaple and Bideford a very exciting event its not often we get a celeb down this way!!
The Bideford Town Band had hoped as James has a music degree he may even conduct them ha ha note to self do not believe the papers!

We were greeted my a load of visibility jackets Id like to call these people wearing them ladies and Gentlemen but as I stood back to watch them in action I witnessed how this high vis jacket turned these men and woman into bullies!.... As the band started up an hour late a mile down the Tarka trail the high vis brigade abruptly asked any one who dared to step on the Tarka trail what they thought they were doing one poor bloke only wanted to get up to his house above the Tarka trail! when the band was about to pass mothers were told to hold on to their children and move out of the way as photographs and film was being taken so much for it being a family open event.
You could sense the Bidefords Town Bands upset as they were ordered around and it not being a case of many of the high vis workers wanting to listen to them more of a case of good advertisement!

I will be very interested to see how their filming and photography is edited together and I really feel the whole evening was an unorganised sham!

I wish James May all the best with his weekend events but hope you high visibility wearers learn some manors by tomorrow where you will be hit with a lot more public interest than you did this evening!
