Is it me or does anyone else get the feeling that the celebrations and anticipation leading upto this weeks event are somewhat muted - I was in City Centre yesterday and barely a mention of the celebration - certainly no decorations - in the past shops and the public areas are very well decorated (I dont mean well in the sense of a tasteful display you understand) and I have seen on occasion a large "creation" downstairs depicting a "typical scene" - but this year nothing. That is true for most if not all areas of the city. Perhaps the novelty is wearing a bit thin. Thanks for the advise but I shall do what I bloody well like.
