Always remember going around the west end at night once with my old man and my cousin after we had been to the crufts dog show the year a St Bernard won best in show and seeing street performers one with a fez and doing the sand dance and Always remember the roast chestnut vendor's something I could never recall in the towns at night in South Yorkshire. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My father used to take me to see the lights in London, he was from paddington originally, the highlight for me was watching to chestnut sellers doing a runner from police , used to have lookouts and just keep moving all night... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Got some photos kicking about somewhere when we also visited Nelsons column and buying cartons of bird seeds to feed the pigeons. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Il be there. whoever don’t don’t have the right to moan about the state of the country imo I will be....same as im at all of these public shows of support.......but i disagree with " whoever dont dont have the right to moan ".......anyone can show pride for an afternoon in the safety of a crowd.....but how many people actually live their lives with that pride,how many people show it and speak it at every available opportunity to anyone willing to listen,getting out into neighbourhoods in small numbers where your opinions might not go down too well.....how many show their support in real ways both in body and financially,maybe putting your arse on the line occasionally,how many genuinely care beyond walking around central London in a large protected group drinking beer and singing songs once in a blue moon......dont get me wrong im all for these type of marches but in reality they are a tiny little cog in a much larger wheel.

Need it to go like the St Patrick day celebrations and not ending up as a beer bottle throwing contest and police baton charges that will be the highlights on MSM. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
