We got invaded by anti nuclear protestors one morning, 6 middle aged ladies managed to cover the fence and church in banners in a couple if hours before we got there, took the council staff all day to remove them.... The lads did a deal with the ladies, use of the portaloo in return for cake, and staying out of the way whilst they worked. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😀" title="😀" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" />Having got the lights in, we were testing them one evening, and a little old fella crossed the road to have a look with his missus. So they were the first people to visit the church bombed by the Luftwaffa with its new lights, and they were German - you couldn't make it up! <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😃" title="😃" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f603.png" />I decided to avoid public works after that <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🤣" title="🤣" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f923.png" /></blockquote>
