What are those crazy traders doing in Broadstairs now? They’re only running a Guy Fawkes competition, that’s what. They’ve got a load of cheap labour (children) to make Guy Fawkeseses, put them in shop windows, and there’s a prize for the best one.
Go, check it out, Guy Fawkes in shops – it’s like the old days again. And for once, it’s nice to see figures in cheap suits slumped in doorways and not have to feel sorry for the homeless.

I love the way you put this. Has such a lovely olde worlde feel – child labour, guys slumped in corners of shops. Maybe we’re taking the “traditional seaside town” thing a bit too far?
I thought we were trying to be authentic? All we need now is to shipwreck a galleon off Botany Bay.
Shipwrecking a galleon would actually be quite a good event. I’d pay to see that.
They burnt a Viking Ship, can’t see why shipwrecking a galleon would be any different? And Isleone are you talking to yourself?
Yes, I am. And I would also like to inform myself that there will be fireworks in Broadstairs on November 5th. See you there. Okay.
Shipwrecking a galleon? wow what an excellent idea, we can all get our pirate costumes out again (those of us who have put them away). Or how about pirate Guy Fawkes? Pirates slumped in door ways? argh Jim Lad
