For the second time in a week, the FW team find themselves covering another major event - the CLA Game Fair at Blenheim Palace, Woodstock, Oxfordshire. Yesterday was the hottest day of the year and thousands were stuck in horrendous traffic queues trying to get into the show. The BBC made the car jams the top story of the day with doctors and nurses on tv and radio arguing that the event put essential services at risk because people could not get into work. This was a great pity because it marred what is a fabulously, classy event.
OAPs must have been pretty put off after queuing for hours and then to find the generous show discount for them at the gate amounted to just £1. Come on CLA, you can do better than that. There were big meetings yesterday between Fair officials, the highways authority and police to try to avoid further chaos today. So far, so good.
It's been pretty star studded here - yesterday we spotted Newsnight presenter Jeremy Paxman and, much to the delight of one of our news team, former Carry on film star and Wombles narrator Bernard Cribbins is here. Apparently both are very keen countrymen and write about fishing for various magazines. David Cameron, the Conservative leader, was also present yesterday although no one seems to have spotted him because he insisted upon being driven around not walking and wanted no photographs taken of him close to guns. Mmmmmmmmm not sure what message he is trying to contain there.
Some of the Olympic shooting team are here and Crufts presenter Peter Purvis. As I write, the CLA press team are busy organising with precision the logistics of the Duke of Edinburgh's visit today. He's doing a royal tour this morning and security over a site this huge will be challenging.
FW is running a debate this morning on: We need more food - is it time to forget about the birds? With the pressure on to increase food production, is it time for a shift in our priorities? Should we be worrying less about the birds and more about upping crop and livestock production? Or are the two achievable in tandem? Let us know what you think at fwi.space.co.uk.
Chaired by our business editor Ian Ashbridge, this debate should be fun as we have strong speakers with suitably opposing positions on the theme. So if you're at the show, get on down to the main theatre at 11.10am.
