Preston Guild

[Micrashed]

Once every 20 years the good folk of Preston close the town to outsiders (like people from Yorkshire) and spend the week eating and drinking far too much and having a very big party to say how utterly great we are. Some king said we could do this hundreds of years ago so we do.

 

Anyway - during the week we have a few parades and today was the Trades procession. Just a couple of crap quality pics taken by my 13 year old (Dyson obsessed) son and y wife whilst I was at work....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last Guild we got a wingless Tornado, this tie we get the Typhoons cockpit. In 72 we got a Lightning.

 

 

 

 

Apparently they emptied out the Vehicle museum at Leyland (in fact the Popemobile Leyland Truck passed me whilst I was on the way to work this morning) but quite a lot of that was parked up down by the river near to where The Human Leage are playing.

I'm guessing that plenty of celebratory meat and potato pies were being consumed by the good folk of Preston.

Do the Preston branch of the Co-op provide funeral plans for rap artistes?

 

That is the only explanation I can think of for why they would have that hearse.

Its very funny you should say that because Winkley Square had one of these:

And looked like this as the hordes went to get a lunchtime pie and pint...

 

Im a butter pie man myself....

I did wonder what the hell was going on when I drove around the outskirts of Preston today and saw some roads closed and a street party going down.

Is everyone fat in Preston?

Once in a Preston Guild, hey?

 

That Atkinson of, erm, Atkinson's is bloody ace.

Is everyone fat in Preston?

Incredibly - I myself am so morbidly obese that I have a small moon in orbit around my belly and I affect the tides when I travel through the county.

POPEMOBILE!!!!!!

 

How spawny is that, missed getting a photo Saturday morning, but on my way home from the Mill, I saw it at the lights on its way home from the Guild on the park.
