"One by one they come on down
From the tower blocks of my hometown
Steppin' with the rhythm of the musical beat
Drownin' out the pressure of the crooked street"
The Clash - The Crooked Beat
We got up too late really. Lots of tidying up had all ready been done and there were numerous people Drug Larking before us. There was so much hippy crack about we montaged the photos otherwise it would be too much! Follow the link to see the huge quantity of hippy crack picked up off the beach.
For one reason or another we got up later than we should have. By the time we started wandering about, the clean up was all ready well under way and we didn't see the sort of ankle deep rubbish we had seen on previous years. So well done in a way but disappointing find wise. It was also clear that several Drug Larks were all ready working the area at the same time as us!
Montage of the hippy crack trail follows.
Some stand out finds, nice head phones, disgusting looking liquid inside it though.
First sign of serious drug taking, I would say that means that a good job is being done by some of the local charities, needle exchanges and so on
Yeah right! That'll be the only empty bin in Brighton this weekend.
Mind you it's big enough.
It still feels wrong that Pride is allowed to ghettoize parts of Brighton. Two minutes after we took this picture a couple of alternative looking types tried to steal the security guards bag. I have a lot of sympathy for those who think Pride has lost its way.
We missed some of the main parts of Brighton affected by Pride, we didn't go to Preston Park or onto the Beach so if you have any photos of those areas let us know! By far hippy crack was the most common find, green striped bags still out number the reds. A great deal of cleaning up had all ready been done, bad for us, good for Brighton. There were still some people around who had clearly not been to sleep.
A fair few ripped open bags, suggesting class A usage.
On the way back we met a lovely dog!
Here he is again but after I've told him a particularly good joke.
I've never made a cat laugh. My dog laughs at all my jokes. Which reinforces my belief that dogs are better than cats. Probs better than people as well. Below are some late contenders from Mondays walk to work.
But the find of the day has to go to the team cleaning up the beach. A very well done to you. For those who didn't follow the link above, this is what Im talking about.
OUTSTANDING!
