Title: Street party..
Post by: Scrumpy on May 21, 2022, 01:54:06 PM



Our street is having a party to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee....
I live at the top of the street and on a slight bend.. Having no neighbours opposite my house puts me in a quieter spot..
My mate lives halfway up the street making her the centre of the celebrations. She will expect me to join in  the fun..
I think it is a lovely idea.  My daughter and some of my other friends are also celebrating in their areas.

What.. if anything... is your street doing.. ? and will you be joining in.. ?


I can almost guess who will say 'No I'm bloody not'.  :grin: :grin: :grin:

I'm a party pooper - would be us our neighbaas the sheep and a couple of horses from up the road, and if we set up tables in the street we would be mowed down by the big lorries and boy racers doing 70+ tearing down the hill.

We'll be in a new street by then. I certainly hope they make the effort!

Good luck with your move Oy.

I live on a main road so no street parties here.

Are you a Guardian reader unsure whether you should celebrate the Jubilee? Here's how to enjoy this outdated patriotic event in an inclusive, ethical and non-nationalistic way.
