13th August. Psychological Experiment 1a (continued) Results.

PART 2.
Here we are back at the camping ground kindly provided by a former customer from Chimney World in the environs of Glamis. We are now able to evaluate the predictions of Part 1.

Overall, looking around at the other members of the audience I wouldn't say that I enjoyed the event any more or less than anyone else. Therefore with the application of logic the score has to be a lot more than 5.3%.

Naturally, despite any pretension towards higher culture, the event is still an excuse for excessive consumption of alcohol. So, after a couple of pints of Old Remedial I was able to appreciate the 2nd movement of Greigs Piano Concerto to a greater depth. Wiping a tear away I had to confess that I was actually enjoying it.

The fact is the orchestra has to try and please everyone, there would be members of the audience who found Greig too heavy and preferred the earlier rendition of a Strauss waltz.

Then the Mars and Jupiter suites from Holst were quite good, sing a long in fact with good fireworks all choreographed at huge expense. Followed by a finale with a piper and yet more fireworks. So despite a cold hypothermic wind which brought on a touch of Vibration White Finger it was still enjoyable. The final percentage works out at about 68.45%.

Conclusions.
Its obvious that my thinking about future events is dramatically skewed towards the negative. This is wholly unrealistic as shown by Psychological Experiment 1a.
Therefore there is scope for considerable readjustment.
