. . . are enough to warrant reports.
Another quiet night on the park. Alex got a full night's sleep for once and everything went well. Mr TV-man (from the previous post) was very compliant and had his TV off before we could ask him to turn it off. He also left his sat-nav system switched on (plugged into the cigarette lighter) all night. . . Karma, anyone?
Nothing unusual, apart from a group of teens drinking bourbon and lager until the small hours. They went to bed just shy of their fourth strike warning. As I'm off tonight, and they are staying until Tuesday, I can only assume that Archie will be submitting a report and a "De-book" request with their name on it tonight.
I had one Vauxhall Vectra, whose car radio kept switching itself on at random intervals throughout the night. I can only guess that there is a fault somewhere with Vectra's. Although I guess it could be that the owner left the "traffic" button on and every time a traffic report was due it switched itself on. Just a thought about that.
A family from Glasgow, also in the same field as the Vectra, were making a lot of noise until the small hours. Although Archie was reluctant to write a report about them, at first light he spotted that their displayed ticket was outdated. I managed to convince him that that would warrant a report on it's own.
It has to be said that my reports were far less interesting than usual. Aside from the random Vauxhall radio system, I reported a handful of cars for parking on the grass. I was in that kind of mood, partly because I was doing my job with astute vigour or maybe due to the fact that I was off today and had a bit of a maverick moment.
Aside from all the fun and games on the park, I was speaking to a Police friend of mine who let me know that this guy, had a report submitted to the courts. Even though the case probably won't call against him (ie. he'll plead guilty and justice will be served.) I've to expect the usual court documents to pop through my letterbox soon. I've noticed that, especially in this town, the Police don't hand deliver court summons to witnesses anymore, they are sent out in the post. Anyone know why this is?

Angry & abusive
A fairly quiet trades fair weekend by all accounts, apart from one tent who were persistent in making a noise. Much to the displeasure of their neighbours.
Only a handful of taxis returned from town, even at that they were fairly early on to cause much of a disturbance. There was one tent who I spoke to on two occasions and Archie, also on two occasions. The way I like to run the park is on a three strike rule. If I have to come to you three times within an hour, then I'll be submitting a report requesting a "De-book." Basically, that means if you want to stay in our company again then it's too bad. I've already suggested that you don't have the option to re-book back into our system. If I have to return to your tent/caravan/motor home a fourth (or more) time, then I'll be dragging Alex out of bed to have a quiet word in your ear.
That's exactly what I had to do for one particular tent last night. I spoke to the occupants twice and so did Archie. Only, the second time he spoke to them he got a mouthful of abuse from an inebriated male within the tent. Working as a team, I told him to give them ten to fifteen minutes to quieten down before returning to the tent.
After the fifteen minutes were up, we both approached the tent and the gentleman was still talking loudly. This already merits a report and I could tell by the tone of conversation, and the fresh can of lager being opened, that the occupants weren't planning on going to bed anytime soon. I called Alex, who had just went to bed and dozed off, to come out and have a quiet word in their ear.
Sadly, I was speaking to some punters at the entrance before making my way to the pitch. I'd missed all the action. But apparently, they weren't happy about the situation. They'd already been spoken to by reception regarding the noise that day.
Mr. TV-Man
Now, I'm no spoiler-of-fun, but when the rules clearly state that you can't operate TVs or radios within the quiet period, and you blatantly do so. Then you're just going to have me coming back to you repeatedly during the night.
This male was camped up on an electric pitch, so he had the comforts of home whilst away. The prior two evenings I had spoken to this gent about the level of noise emitting from his TV and asked him to turn it off. He didn't, he merely turned the volume down and kept it very low until he went to bed. I was happy with this, as I knew he wasn't going to be any hassle. However, when Archie told him to switch it off, the gent became angry.
"*hushed tone* Excuse me, Sir. Can you turn the television off please?"
"*nigh-on shouting* I'm just watching 'Happy Hour', I'll turn it down when it's finished."
By this point I was almost in stitches, so I walked off to continue my route around the park.
As far as I am aware, Mr TV-man wasn't best pleased and Archie had to return to his abode on several occasions to ask him to turn the TV down. By the end of the night, it had sufficient strikes to merit a report. Mr TV-man wasn't happy and said that he'd be speaking to reception and that he had "a lot of contacts on the Internet" and that "he'd make sure the park got a bad reputation." Yes, another set of false-fronted accusations. None of which will ever come to light.
