Title: NottingHill Carnival - Here's to Unity&Diversity!! Post by: smallfry on August 30, 2005, 04:18:08 pm Hello everyone
Firsty - everyone in the UK is watching the news and hoping everyone caught up in the massive hurricane is ok, sending our love! I just wanted to write here that i went to notting Hill Carnival for the first time ever last weekend and i am so immensley proud of Londoners and the rest of the British Isles and beyond!! To be honest i was a bit apprehensive to go and to get on the tubes because of the recent bombings; but that just strengthened my resolve to go and im so glad i did! The theme this year was UNITY & DIVERSITY!!!!!!!!! Everyone we passed in the street had a different accent or language and were all dressed in different native costumes and dress... i was compleatly amazed by the sheer amount of diversity, cultural and otherwise, there really is!!! (you dont really get to see much diversity stuck up here in Morecambe) Everone was partying and having fun together and no one was scared and the police were all great and there was no fighting.... A lovely Jamaican family even let me use their loo! so anyway WELL DONE LONDON!!! i had the time of my life!!! (and Jerk chicken is amazing!) Piss Off terrorists Lv Charlie Smallfry Title: Re: NottingHill Carnival - Here's to Unity&Diversity!! Post by: secretaryman on September 01, 2005, 06:57:35 pm That's the ticket! If you're afraid to go anywhere or do anything for fear of a terrorist attack, then the terrorists have accomplished their mission...keeping people in fear. Nothing irritates them more when we go on with our lives! I take a commuter train everyday to work, and granted we have random bomb sweeps, nobody seems overly anxious. So much for the terrorists wanting us to stay at home in fear and the economy faltering!!! :o)
