Remembrance Day In Whitby - A Fiasco
21 Answers
We have a new-ish memorial erected by the dock and all the uniformed people (3 soldiers, one navy bod, 4 air force staff, lifeboat crew, air cadets & army cadets) marched smartly to it. Local dignitaries shuffled over and then everyone stood there not knowing what to do.
The Bishop began to speak and no one could hear a word he said due to the wind, traffic & seagulls. A PCSO suddenly barged through the throng and dumped a loudspeaker at the Bishop's feet before scuttling off. It was facing the wrong way and the feedback drowned out his words.
A two minute silence began and a young female bugler began to play. As the two minutes was over, the maroon sounded with a loud bang signifying the start of a two minute silence. The bang resulted in the seagulls evacuating their bowels over the throng. The bugler began to play again from the start and the two minute silence turned into a four minute one. The maroon sounded again and more people were covered in guano.
The Bishop began to speak again but was drowned out by a local busker who began to play Amazing Grace on the bagpipes.....well, it sounded something like Amazing Grace. He was told to stop and then people began to sing Abide With Me. The busker started up again and there was a minor altercation. Some people then began to sing God Save the Queen, not realising half the crowd were still singing Abide With Me..and then the bagpipes started up again....and so did the bugler. The resulting cacophony had a laxative effect on more seagulls.
I look forward to next November 11th!
