Yes. Just seems strange. Don't know why. Must have disturbed the rough sleepers.

If I say what I really think about this whole pantomime. I will start another row. It's not just about MT.
Its about who decides who gets what honours and where does it stop. I have buttoned my lip!
Its very very hard but I have buttoned my lip.
angry

No don't button your lip Nelliemoser how boring would that be?

I agree with you about the honours. It is a bit of a sham. Sir this and lady that. hmm MBE's CBE's OBE's GCSE's what the hell next? grin

They do it for all the big occasions that involve processing up and down streets. They did it for the Princess of Wales's and the Queen Mother's funerals too. When else can they iron out the wrinkles except at night? You can't just shut down London during the day or more than one day for a dress rehearsal.
