I gather the rain came down like stair rods and everyone got extremely wet. There was an excellent sermon which proved that Jesus was a black woman (no fair trial and had to get up and work even when dead!) and that the band played even though the drumskins must have got a soaking.
Afterwards Jonathan and a friend visited Fortnum and Masons where his sole expenditure was a present for me - one scorpion encased in chocolate! - before visiting the Tower of London and claiming the ancient right of free entry as bluecoat children.
I understand he marched in the front rank behind the band - any pictures, anyone?

I have a few from the YOB evening in the pub on my phone!
I think Ruth Tyrell should have some fine photos on her excellent camera - she said it was so wet that she went and bought another change of clothes!
The evening 'meet up' was fun - I nearly missed my last train back! Oops!
When I got there, I only recognised Ruth -although the place was full of recent OB's - some of which I recognised later on. More people came in whom I recognised!
We had a core group of people who stayed until the pub closed of:
Ruth Tyrell, Marty Elmore, Stuart Abercrombie, Ian Henderson, Kate Atkinson, Olly Harry, Christian Ashby, Tom Meeks and Lucinda Thomson

Oh for goodness sakes... the Tower not the scorpion. As for the scorpion, IIRC you'll eat it and wish you'd spent the money on a bottle of wine instead of the novelty.

I'm not sure if they actually sell chocolate-coated towers. I will ask Jonathan though - he it was who did the shopping.

Chocolate encased scorpions. Hmm, what happens when the chocolate breaks, does the scorpion run away and hide in the laundry?
