'angonaminnit - is this Scumsville's alternative pageant?
Alan: Don't be daft. The new Socialist Republic of Southampton would have none of this Royalist nonsense. This is from the delightful village of Goudhurst in Kent. Actually, Southampton is marking the Diamond Jubilee. I've been awake since 5am with the horns from Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria and Queen Mary II marking a simultaneous arrival in the docks. The Red Arrows are supposed to be performing at around 6.30pm but rain is forecast.
Thank goodness they have not included those ghastly coloured tents along the river bank by these buildings, I don't know how they obtained permission to erect them on such a sensitive building.
Alan: Hmmm... Now planning laws.. Who put those on the statue book? Ah yes... Parliament! Don't do as we do, do as we say.
