I wish I could tell you how the show was.
I had a puncture en route to the concert.
AA were very good and got me going, and I got to Howden by about 8:45.
I thought I would at least be able to slip in at the back and see the second half.
Wrong. The entry door was locked, and I couldn't get in. There was no-one who's attention I could get.
I'm sure that the doors can be opened from the inside, but what if the emergency services need to get in?
