Words almost fail me - but then I am from the generation that had weapons and ammo in the school CCF armoury! The programme has description of the
Armed Forces Village – RAF, Army & Navy
"On Saturday at the Low Green, Ayr for the adventurous, our armed forces village will enthral with all the armed forces displaying lots of large trucks, guns, jeeps and all the stuff the men and wee boys just love" says the on line info. So I guess no one should be surprised by the odd bang, and if the on site programme says something like "battle demo" no one should be surprised. Slight over reaction by the Scottish fuzz IMHO, unless that big Jessie that runs the SNP has been poking her finger in. Now about answering emergency calls......
