There I was making my way to Turnstile 14 for the Halo Stand, fully expecting to be frisked. It was chucking it down as forecast, so I decided to take my telescopic brolly. Never in a million years did expect to have my brolly confiscated. So there I stood, devoid of my trusty brolly waiting to be frisked.....it never happened!
Walked the short distance to the Halo, made sure I was well sheltered from the elements (I'd rather have sheltered under my brolly at pitch level, obviously without obscuring the view of any supporters whose vision might be obscured).
In the distance were 30 or 40 hardy types who decided to endure the rain on the Berlin Wall, mainly from under their umbrellas. Did I say umbrellas?
At full-time I duty recovered my brolly from Turnstile 14 as promised.....I think only 1 had been confiscated.
Not having a moan really, it's just that some things are plain daft.
