I might try that in Central MK, but i think there would be a good chance of me getting pelted with tomatoes.

Well choreographed - it obviously took all the passing shoppers by surprise. I enjoyed it.

Well I prefer this one - but maybe that's because I'm more of a classical music lover:

You are right, Primrose - wonderful! I have posted the link on to our family.

Yes, I enjoyed that one too Primrose, The idea is obviously spreading.

Certainly brightens up the days shopping.

Beryl.

No criticism of those who enjoyed those videos, but they give me a creepy feeling. I'm sure I've seen something similar in the film Cabaret?

Just shows what an innocent I am - I had never heard of "flash mob" events before.

You have just reduced a grown atheist man to tears.
Thank You

Yes, it's quite inspirational isn't it? I loved watching the expressions on some of the peoples' faces who were watching it. They were just full of wonder. Not often you see those kinds of expressions in a shopping mall. Mostly people look tired, harrassed and grumpy.

Thanks Beryl. It is indeed lovely.
It couldn't happen in UK for fear of offending someone.

Christmas Day On The Somme

’Twas Christmas Day on the Somme
The men stood on parade,
The snow laid six feet on the ground
Twas twenty in the shade.

Up spoke the Captain ‘gallant man’,
"Just hear what I’ve to say,
You may not have remembered that
Today is Christmas Day."

"The General has expressed a wish
This day may be observed,
Today you will only work eight hours,
A rest that’s well deserved.

I hope you’ll keep yourselves quite clean
And smart and spruce and nice,
The stream is frozen hard
But a pick will break the ice."

"All men will get two biscuits each,
I’m sure you’re tired of bread,
I’m sorry there’s no turkey
but there’s Bully Beef instead.

The puddings plum have not arrived
But they are on their way,
I’ll guarantee they’ll be in time
To eat next Christmas Day."

"You’re parcels would have been in time
But I regret to say
The vessel which conveyed them was
Torpedoed on the way.

The Quartermaster’s got your rum
But you may get some yet,
Each man will be presented with
A Woodbine Cigarette."

"The Huns have caught us in the rear
And painted France all red,
Pray do not let that trouble you,
Tomorrow you’ll be dead.

Now ere you go I wish you all
This season of good cheer,
A very happy Christmas and
A prosperous New Year."

A worthwhile reminder when we sit down to eat our Christmas lunch in a time of peace and plenty. There are so many things we still take for granted, arn't there?
