Greetings All,

Last night I had an event in a large school in Oxford but................. everything that could go wrong did!!!!!!

I set off in plenty of time and I must have hit every traffic jam there was plus a couple of accidents.

Sheduled start time of the first one was -----5:00pm I finally arrived at 4:40pm!!

This is where the suprise takes over, as I pulled up at the main entrance, there were six year 6 pupils and 3 members of the PTA and even the lady Headteacher waiting!!!! my vehicle has never been unloaded as fast as it was, even the head teacher carried in my speakers!!!

I was ready and started at -----5:04pm.

Has anything like this ever happened to you??

Regards

I've had a few rushed setups, mainly due to working in my other job till 5, and although 2 and a half hours sounds ample time to get home, get dressed, have something to eat, load the gear and hit the road, it really, really isn't!! :(
