A Northumberland retiree has vowed never to return to the Glendale Show after waiting for more than two hours in traffic before turning round and returning home.
Peter Postgate had bought his wife Linda tickets to the Glendale Show for her birthday and the couple had intended to travel from their home in Fenrother to visit the show. The show was returning to the Wooler Showfiield for the first time since 2019, and an estimated 12,000 people passed through its gates for one of the biggest events in the north Northumberland social calendar.
However, Peter and Linda only got past Longframlington, 20 miles away, before being hit by a huge traffic jam. Peter claims that once enough was enough, he turned around and passed "almost four miles" of traffic on his way back towards the A1.
