Anyway, looks like things finally back to something like normal. And I completely missed out the bit since around April when the council came out in the middle of the night to replace the water-filled barriers with flower beds, because the traders kept moving them and drunks were draining the water out etc
So could hardly get up the street last night when the pubs chucked out, and it's not even freshers' week yet

And, remember, the pavements were so dangerous that people are still afraid to walk on them

(There's a couple of cabs still on the rank behind the crowd to the left, but I was just driving round a wee bit before going home, because still couldn't get a job
