If you're into rum, dancing and not caring what you look like, and dressing up in your natty dreds...then come down to this soundsystem on Monday 25th. It's my 7th year as a faithful skanker. See some of you there....? It's an experience not to be missed. The stage sets are, well, mind blowing to say the least.

Oh so you're being stereotypical. Cloth caps, hotpots and Rovers are a Yorkshire thing. You probably need to be rude about people from Lancashire or Merseyside in CWALD's case.


Maintaing the stereotypical theme, you must be a Pearly Queen Louisa? Or do you have a fella called Riiiiccccccckyy?

Yes Louisa, I imagine everybody DID look at me and laughed out loud! seeing as I was dressed up complete with straw trilby and hawaiin flower garlands. I blagged my way up onto the set/stage and rocked the afternoon away. I must have drunk my own body weight in rum. Great fun.:))

    • I sometimes don't feel as comfortable as I did but it's not because I'm older, it's because I'm sober. Staggering home when I was younger I always felt I like a had a cloak of invisibility around me. And a magic compass - not even sure how I found my way home some nights. 
    • I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's  when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.
    • The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.
    • Do you mean that there are only very few trades people and that all of their thousands of happy customers post glowing reviews but most of them have only ever posted once to recommend said trade person on the trade person's own thread?   If so, I agree it's mysterious.
