As you know, I was stuck there, and like you, the commentators were doing my bloody head in. Hell they love the sound of their own voices. It wouldn't have been too bad if they actually let the kids do something, but instead they just walked out and then straight back in.I'm also not sure I really approve because some of the kids were clearly very distressed, with one even ending up in tears more than once. Another was so nervous she could barely breath. I think it's okay if a child can clearly handle that sort of thing, but surely their teachers should be able to judge. Our second eldest one that was there yesterday thinks nothing of it. In fact, she would have preferred several thousand spectators. Boy, I wish I had the confidence she has......lol.
All in all though, not much entertainment at all. Then again, at least the commentators and the mayor enjoyed themselves.
