Back in Norfolk where I grew up...you HAD to make a float for the parade
(yes, yes...etc) A highlight of the village would be the 'parade' consisting of a few trailers being pulled through the high street. My dear old Nan would always rope us into putting together a 'float' every year to support the WI.

Since the budget was about 4.50 and most of them were too old to do much on the float other than sit (and kinda hoped we'd bound them tightly enough to their chairs), we became quite 'creative'.

One year we managed to line them up on their chairs so they (very loosely) spelled 'Bum' when they took the bird's eye pic from the clocktower on the way by.

Oh, how we laughed.
