frank ryan Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 in 1977, britain went queen crazy, union jacks, silly hats, street parties, the whole shebang - luckily, we youngsters had 'god save the queen' by the sex pistols to take the edge off it. this time, no on seems to give a monkeys, sure it's a free day off, but have we grown up now? is ANYONE street partying, waving stupid little flags, will there be an orgy of bogotry and nationalism like 35 years ago?

lectrolove Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Dunno how much flag-waving and nationalism there'll be but our road's having a street party that day. We also had one in 1994 apropos of nothing, we just felt like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bloom Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 If you live on an undadopted road, do you still have to get council permission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANGELFIRE1 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Maybe folk have no brass for a street party. Hard times are on us. Angel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the tories were putting forward that all the red tape should be cut in a bid to win over the 'all this health and safety nonsense' gang, but in reality it's a lot cheaper to not have to process thousands of applications for what will on the whole, be little more than a small fete.

We also had one in 1994 apropos of nothing, we just felt like it we have one every year, some nice beardy hippies down the street started it - white brown yellow faces, lovely food , no union jacks , no nationalism.
