There's nothing wrong with thatI consider myself a bit of a republican, but have to admit that the sight of 1 million people in the mall yesterday did stir some vague feeling of pride in me...

Yup, that was Grand.Enjoyed the Notting Hill procession, the Decades one was good (bad camera changes though), but the Commonwealth one was a bit messed-up by the arty types.

Hehe:I loved the "What is Platinum?" line.
(ed) And the food bit:
DD:"So, what does this represent, Spaghetti Bolognese?"
DT:"Yes, this is the kind of food we ate in the 70's"
Enter the 80's float...
DD: "So, what is this now? Chinese food?"
DT: "Yes, it represents the kind of food we ate in the 80's"
WH: "So, we didn't have Chinese Food in the 70's then?"
etc.

Hah ha...that was good. Also the pregnant man picture on the 60's float - the campaign was from the 70's by saatchi & saatchi - which didn't even exist in the 60's. Needless to say DD & WH picked up on this too...
