It may be my quirky
sense of humour, but I thought that this notice I saw at the side of the Americana outdoor stage
is truly amusing and thought provoking.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY
So does this mean that
if the square is crowded you have to count all the people to make sure that you
are not person number 1501, and if you are, you have to go back inside? Or sneak on to the square and feel guilty,
and worry that the Americana
police will catch you? Or worse, you may simply be hit over the head with a
banjo, or even worse again, be forced to listen to a banjo.
But seriously, I suppose
the notice is mainly for the staff to keep an eye on numbers, which they could
count by adding up the number of rows occupied.
It’s a good job that BSH isn’t working in the business of crowd control,
I don’t think we’d be much use!

Crowd control is the least of our worries. As Ronnie Scott used to say - "Business was so bad the chuckers out were chucking them in"
