There is a regatta in our quiet English tow this weekend, along the River Thames.. Sounds high class and sophisticated, right? Wrong! It's a pandemonium of drunken people, from teenagers to the elderly. Our uiet little town often end up into a pandemonium. I call it Sodom and Regatta. Sometimes things get nasty. Thankfully, there is generally a heavy police presence, which always feel surreal. When we lived near the town centre, we used to spend the whole Saturday in. Sunday is more family friendly, I guess because everybody is hungover. All the same, I still don't like it much.

"Sodom and Regatta" -- now THAT'S a truly great unknown line!
Typical British days out I'm afraid. If your not into drinking yourself stupid and the obnoxious behaviour that too often comes with it, you have two choices. Stay in or leave town until its all over. The weird thing is, the town will consider it a great success due to the income stream these events generate.
