Something related and relevant, especially this time of year...

Somerset Carnival Season...

Last one I went to was a few years ago..

.. and it is genuinely exciting to experience the sheer brightness of the thousands of light bulbs
and earth shakingly loud music systems..

I've googled but can't find evidence if they still permit B & W Minstrels
or black face jungle themed floats..???

Though I'm fairly certain they stil allow 'Oriental' floats with Asianized eye make up..??

Be interesting to know what the policy is.

I might contact some old mates in the Bridgwater area.
