At last the voice of reason Howard...I think what happened here is that Mandie got very affronted and went off like a bag of cats about nothing at all and everyone leapt to the defence of her and the carnival. If anyone likes to read what I said on the top posting you will see there is nothing negative there at all but only a suggestion that might help.
I will put up a picture in a minute to show my point... my suggestion was a fair suggestion to try and address the problem...if there is no alternative to the current route then so be it, thats the end of the matter.
If this empty street is not a problem for the organisers then fair enough..
it used to be full...
