Therefore the Scouts had to police this themselves and they did have a few teething problems on the day. The papers had been written to asking them to advertise and turn up on the day but no one bothered. Paperwork and sanctions to go ahead had to be done to Thanet District Council and also to Kent Highways who were well aware of this and the fact we had to marshall this ourselves because the police would or could not so it had been ratified by them. This parade has happened every year for as long as I can remember and quite frankly if people want to moan about being held up for 15 minutes then sod them! We all thought it looked fantastic but then we support the scouts and what it does for the children who are in it, the skills it teaches them and the fundraising that goes on behind the scenes and the sheer hard work and dedication by a number of volunteers without which there would be no scouts, cubs, beavers etc. Some people just need to get a life and stop moaning. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-56685879332166089442013-04-28T09:11:12.961+01:002013-04-28T09:11:12.961+01:00John Hamilton,

Which meant I could not use my car from 0800 to 1600. They stop all the buses as well. The Tube was running but you had to cross the road to get there. This was not easy as crossing was subject to high viz jacket control. I remember one occasion where I had to wait 15 minutes to cross Bird Cage Walk trying to get to work. Great fun, for the first few years, then I got fed up with it.John Holyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284672912775316883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-1373465567654704502013-04-21T19:37:58.533+01:002013-04-21T19:37:58.533+01:00Great to see the derelict Fort Road Hotel still st...Great to see the derelict Fort Road Hotel still standing there.
