Hello fellow ED'ers, happy VE Day!


I was wondering if there were any VE day street parties planned today? Naturally, in these current times, responsible socially distanced ones.


I have a large coolbox with plenty of British ales, gin & tonics, and other fancy treats from M&S that i'd love to share around the community. Unfortunately my close neighbours in my street seem to have all fled to second homes or B&B's in the countryside to sit out the pandemic, so if anyone is having a bit of a knees up this afternoon, please post here and i will come and join to celebrate a very important and historic day.

Sky News seemed to just do two locations


There was that conga with a rope mind - not sure about it. I admit I love to see horror in the European papers about what the Brits are doing now :)

A search for "conga fury" sees many more including a pub in Greenwich that allegedly opened.

    • So have you never been in a house where the gas hob was turned on but not ignited?  You get a smell of gas,  You do not get an explosion when you light the flame.   You have to have a very high concentration of methane (over 4.4%)  for this to happen, the smell of the gas would be obvious half way down the street.  They add mercaptans to natural gas to give it that smell at very low concentrations.   Gas explosions happen once in a blue moon, in places like residential homes in the basements where, if unchecked, a leak can get up to explosive concentrations.   Back to my original comment about Bunsen burners.  You'd got 30 kids in a classroom but no explosions.   The establishment of Corgi (now Gas Safe) and the compulsory annual testing of boilers and cookers was mainly due to the relatively high number of deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning from faulty appliances and blocked flues in rented properties. I don't expect the OP to test it themselves, I would, but that his my decision.  But you may get Natural Grid to do this free of charge if you ask nicely. I thought the video was hilarious.  The guy shouts don't do this yourself, call in help.

    • Or maybe let @malumbu come round and test it for you, thus potentially getting two birds with one stone 🤣
    • Have you ever considered your own motivations?
