I was to a degree looking forward to the B.Hol, not Good Friday in particular because it is usually crap Friday, partly due to the punters keeping money back for Sunday night, and going on past form it is usually pretty subdued..

Anyway Friday did not disappoint me..........it was crap! I came in on Saturday night mindful of past years that it would be ok ish, not brilliant but as I say ok ish...........anyway that was also crap!

Coming in on Sunday night I was apprehensive, having worked out ( in my own tiny mind ) that the other two nights were worse than expected primarily because Easter fell on the third weekend in the month...........with punters now running out of cash and monthly pay cheques coming out next week.

But! Sunday was alright.............having said that, 1 out of 3 is not good.

I generally find that whatever is happening in your/mine backyard then it is mirrored around the country, more often than not London being the exception, so was it the same for you?

Thursday night before Good Friday was mega, Good Friday night was dead as was Saturday night. Last night we thought it was going to be a good night but it was a disaster.

I'm off the road due to the fact that I've spat my dummy out. I was however informed that with the exception of Thursday I've missed nothing

Days have been quite good.

Most nights good as well, but Saturday night by all accounts wasn't anything special.

Twitter was forecasting doom and gloom in town today, so I put on at the Airport and got off to Luton after 3 hours.

That was me, one job and I was a few miles from home so called it a day. :D

Got home and went out on the Cyclo Cross bike.

Back in on Wednesday.

But the real question is, have you climbed out of your pram yet?

same here, brill Thursday but fri. Sat and sun spent more on fuel and coffee than I took. Town radio circuits fared better but still down. Absence of students makes a big hole. Are you HC or PH? what has the largest effect on your takings?
