You were awesome at Latitude! I loved the new country lane/motorway song. I am sorry that VBS makes you sound like a furniture store... XD
I was at the front with a flag which you didn't seem to see, so here is the link to a photo of it. :D
I should probably mention that "Boy it aint carrot" relates to this time my friend and I were munching carrots whilst waiting for a bus.
