He he he. Memories of the Tory party conference in 1988 (I think) in Brighton. First one back in Brighton after the bombing. I was about to extend the first leg of my tripod when I got surrounded by the Rozzers. No it's not a rocket launcher, no I'm not a member of the press, I live up the road and just wanted a pic... Quick check on the PNC and they let me get on with it. My mate was not asked and was merrily snapping away all the time - but he had no tripod with him.
