When did we become a village? Have I missed something?

Dare I say when the idiots moved in?

Ahh, I did notice a large painted sign tied up to railings along the High Street, something about a fun day or something, presume its for this village show.

Does that rule us out then?

yes. It has to be more recently arrived idiots or people who were ok beforethey moved here and have progressed to idiocy. Portobello was never a village when it was only us living here.

Was the Hummer there?

No Hummer - it wouldn't have been able to make it along WBC, which was chock a block with traffic!

Reckon POD can claim a huge success. The weather was lovely and folk turned out in their droves. I suggest they start planning next year's show now!
