I hate flash; the only time it works for me is when it goes off accidentally in full daylight and creates interesting effects. <br /><br />I love it down by the harbour on evenings like that, Anji; loads of people out doing their thing; it feels quite continental. Though the big dockside meat factories are already powering up to produce the insanely drunk and rowdy people we get all over the city centre round midnight. <br /><br />We don't get primary school scooter races, though. Now that I'd like to see!Dru Marlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697874363783821382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448752251053894818.post-46831947708362659212010-05-07T17:01:21.297+01:002010-05-07T17:01:21.297+01:00They certainly know how to set the scene down Bris...They certainly know how to set the scene down Bristol way.
