its a shame it wasn't publicised much, apart from a quick thing on our local news this morning and the manc newspaper. ..... If they do it again, perhaps they could do it at midday so we can alll go, and, maybe have a picnic while we sit waiting in traffic.

I saw this on the news yesterday, very impressive. Something was mentioned about the possibility of doing the same again next week. Maybe one should be carried out in every city in the UK at the same time, now that would make them 'orrible politicians sit up
