Who Writes this?

According to the official web site the Bonanza Days are "notorious events". It also calls them "infamous". Why, what happens at these that makes them so sinister, and gives them such a bad reputation?

I think someone has swallowed a thesaurus and not bothered with the dictionary!

Dave,

You might want to check the headline on the TV story as it doesn't read correctly.

P.S. this is not a criticism, as the Official site has improved beyond all belief since you took over. Keep up the fantastic work.

Yep my colleague took great pleasure in pointing out my mistake. I've amended it.

I thought it might be Ross as he is advising supporters to attain their tickets for Saturday !

Whilst the trials and tribulations of dealing with the Ticket Office could make this apposite, I'm sure it's not what he meant!

also here scriv. I didn't start this thread as a criticism, I just found it funny.

I also think the official site has improved beyond recognition since you have been working on it, long may it continue. I guess, however, you might be needed to do a bit of proof reading in the future.
