Meanwhile, some of the poor confused souls turning up at the Cinema Bookshop yesterday, wanting to see the film, told us that the staff on the shuttle buses were telling them that this was the right place.
In town, there's a sign up in Chattel's window saying that the business is for sale. The new tapas bar had a sign up saying that they had run out of white wine - "sorry, we're new!"
And there's a Poetry Jamboree at Salem Chapel, with art (I wonder what the chap in the tomb would have thought of this!):

It's Friday 2pm - you should see the cars "parked" up the Harwick Road as far as the eyes can see. Maybe they have reached Hereford for all I know!!!
This main road out of Hay was always coned for the Festival - why not this year?
Single traffic outof Hay !!!!!!
Tell me about the car parks being closed...took 15 minutes to get from Wyeside Gardens up to the Swan because our intellectual friends had double parked from Hay Meadows right through to Gipsy Castle,and the poor refuse lorries had to get through! Then this afternoon I went to Brecon only to find cars double parked from the festival site all the way to Sheephouse farm,both sides of the road,even on the double white lines around the lay-by bend.... And if you are a supporter of CRAP,or have received a ticket for parking in Hay,post it back to PCC and tell them to shove it up their ar??s cos Dyfed Powys Police hadn't put a ticket on any of them!!
They did 'lift' a couple of cars from the bend onto a transporter late afternoon.
Earlier two parking wardens and two police men tried to book one car (and even used a video-camera) by the main festival entrance whilst there was traffic chaos near-by.
In truth the Festival were slow to re-act to the lack of parking and should have a better back-up plan.

To be fair to the Festival,it has expanded to it's current size by relying on the large amount of "green field" parking that has sprung up around the site. Should this parking become licensed on the basis that temporary roadways or "grassed grids" are installed,as is on the festival site itself?
Also,where were the stewards,and or the Police,when the first few cars started parking on the grass verges?
Move them on straight away ,and we would not have had the dangerous and moronic double parking all the way to the Sheephouse!
