Get a program. The barrels are run at various locations and at various times over the night, so it's worth knowing where to go. Start off smaller and get bigger etc. I would tend to suggest avoiding the ones in the square and going for the ones in the smaller side streets, it's far more atmospheric. There are various stalls selling drinks / food etc, but all the pubs were absolutely rammed when I went, so probably aren't worth the hassle. Other than that, don't try and run across the bonfire like someone did when the Wench and her family were doing St John there. It's normally about 15m diameter and if you fall over you're going to be in hospital for 6 months. Yes, the guy was drunk  .

Oh well durrrr. I actually forgot you lived there, and one or two of the images I got I tried to copy what you got in your little Manchester set for Heather. I'll put them up in a quick gallery and send you the link. It's just place names that I'm looking for. Mark

Having been in the same position as you there's not a lot can be said. At least your job is safe(r). _________________John Vella BSc (Hons), PGCE - Still the official forum prankster and crude remarker  Sorry  I'll behave now. Promise

Don't want to be the voice of doom, but I was in a similar situation a few years ago. I though my job was safe, had been told it was safe because I was a vital part of the organisation, and then I was made redundant three months later. Then again, that employer was a total @rse and couldn't run a bun fight in a bakery.  _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.
