Carnival Time

[DaveB]

What the crikey is going on with "Nora one our tour guides" ?

She used to be a cover girl for Backstreet Heros....

[pacharan]

Oi! I was born in Midsomer Norton.

Although one or two things are now falling into place.

Radstock here

All part of the Greater Norton Radstock conurbation these days of course.

Think they're doing to us what they did to Newcastle when they rebranded it Newcastle-Gateshead.

[Old Greg]

I think he might mean Midsomer Norton. He may have a point there though, I believe they still eat their dead in that part of Somerset. Their carnival must run along the lines of Shaun of the Dead!!

Probably from St Autumnus, the patron saint of grasscutting and dreary bastards?

Do I qualify for owning a book entitled "50 years of garden machinery?"

Edit: and two old mowers, obviously

If its anywhere like the village carnivals I went to in Kent try and be the carnival queen. Initially I couldn't understand why the carnival queen was in a mess cage until the losers arrived and started to lob filed coins and (probably) razor blades at the winner.

[pacharan]

where?

Midsomer Norton and Bridgwater

[Spacecadet]

No they're carnivals down here. All the villages and small towns have them.

Some of them, particularly Misnomer Sorting and Bridgwater are in a very grand scale indeed with floats more fitting of the Sambodromo rather then a Rust Country high street.

where?

[pacharan]

Or it's actually a Harvest Festival and not a carnival

Me and the crew from the pub have decided to enter our local village carnival.

Theme is going to be mowers down the ages. Think we can make a reasonable fist of it given that we have 20 mowers between the 6 of us.

Think we shall send somebody brandishing a scythe at the head of the cavalcade followed by the kids with a set of push mowers. Then shall follow an assortment of motorized cylinder and rotary mowers with me bringing up the rear on my gang mower.

Can't wait. Incidentally, did you know that carnival is derived from the Latin carne vale (goodbye meat) (since carnival is normally a precursor to Lent)?

I don't know where the English tradition of Autumn carnivals comes from.

The Grim Reaper?
