Only cos I get a free ticket . I’ve given up moaning about it and instead enjoy it for what it is . I can’t walk 10 yards without bumping into someone I know and having a natter. There is a bit of tat there , but they seem to sell the shit . There is something for all the family at Frampton , lots of demonstrations, drystone walling , fly tying, wood turning . Sheepdogs . The hunt and the Lancers in the main ring . What always makes me chuckle are the guys who turn up covered from head to toe in realtree .... was that you Greyman ? 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Army surplus dmp for me mate but I was with the family so wearing normal civi,s, I enjoyed the birds of prey, the resident pigeons were getting a bit sketchie and a few times the bop got distracted, think it was better the later in the day it got, by 4 the crowds were thinning and the stalls were starting to flog off a lot of stuff they did,nt want to take home, think next year I,ll just wander over for the last couple of hours, it's also hard to get a beer and a pie in the three shoes on show weekend which I enjoy when I,m in Frampton Usually, was that you in the private gin tent with the master of hounds and rollie Clifford 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lenmcharristar 9,095 Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 once they get too commercialised they loose what they once were, they become a rip off, all just to rob the coin from ya and riddled with antis trying to get folk nicked. the smaller ones are more like the old types we used to go to. one of the best over here used to be the moira. but now the old prison site is just a total rip off same as the balmoral show. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
