I've just been informed that I may have got the wrong idea about the Reading Festival.

It seems to be some kind of rock festival, no books at all.

This is almost as embarrassing as when I turned up to The Goodwood Festival Of Speed with a wheel barrow full of class A drugs....

Weymouth has a Kite Festival.

Nothing to do with birds of prey, at all.

But the Fforde Ffestival is all about cars, right?

I thought it was connected to that Indiana Jones chappie, Wilson Fforde.

Tumut, NSW, has a Festival of the Falling Leaf.

What, just the one? Tough if you miss it, then.

I'm hoping to go to the fiber festival in Rhinebeck, New York, later this year. I'm looking forward to learning more about this important staple of a proper diet!

(Okay, it's actually called the Sheep and Wool Festival, but that doesn't lend itself to any good jokes.)

Oh yes it does, but they are mostly about kiwis.

....or Welsh farmers. Perhaps we need an interjection from The Great Panjandrum?

Or Aussies.

Or is this just because I am Saffrican?

Suggests Ptolemy takes wheelbarrow to Reading.

On the grounds that you can't lose your place if you've got a wheelbarrow on the page? I think Ptolly may well have been to Reading a few times already; re the wheelbarrow's contents I couldn't possibly comment. So I won't.
