Just for you ...

Sounds great.

Big reenactments with the public joining in are always worth a visit. Sheringham in Norfolk has (or at least did and probably still does) hold an annual WW2 event. One of the pubs used to have a crashed plane sticking out of the roof and all the shops join in with WW2 appropriate displays. Lots of uniformed soldiers (even a German or two) and at least one Winston Churchill.

Just checked and it's still going - https://experiencesheringham.com/activities-and-events/1940s-weekend/

Meanwhile Northampton has it's re-enactment of the 1460 Battle of Northampton every Friday night around kicking out time in the town centre. Usually gets a write up in the local paper - just check the magistrates court page on the Tuesday for details of the highlights.

Back in the day my immediate boss had an old even at the time Mk7 Jag. They didn't have a pressed steel chassis - they just welded a few railway tracks together and bolted bits to that along with chromed steel bumpers stronger than bull bars. 

Anyway he'd run this beast into the back of a mini in town writing off the mini and putting a tiny twist in his bumper. Turns out the accident wasn't his fault at all. Apparently a young mum had picked an inappropriate moment to bend over her Silver Cross pram to attend to the occupant causing an obvious distraction which led to him failing to stop when the mini did. It isn't obvious why the mini stopped either come to that 

Sounds like fun, Raven!

But he would say that wouldn't he?

Or pregnant...

Quote from: Ashy on July 03, 2026, 10:38:08 AMThe only slightly good news is that men can't breed. Doesn't matter where they came from.

Apart from raping young girls, assuming they are old enough to become pregnant.

I did say it was only slightly good news. They very very bad news is that they will still try.

No I didn't edit it

Not a bad day here, I hope it holds over the weekend. Every year the Town celebrates it's Norse History and we have Reinactments of the landings, battles and boat burnings, we all get dressed up as Vikings and have a grand old time, the tourists get a hell of a surprise and some get to join in. A huge BBQ is held afterwards. This year I'm going as a Shield Maiden, and Himself as a fully fledged Warrior. Photos will follow, give Muddy a chance to see my hair in Viking Braids like she was saying a few weeks back..
