lol i know exactly what you mean ,just wish when i went at 10.30 id have came back,
id love to know how they got your number,
i knew that bloke was a police man,nicely dressed and talking bollocks
see you latter
well done wayne and company good work
well it seems as ive been in beed for the day, the police turned up at around lunchtime taking the details of my cvan, so im sure ill be reached by the long arm of the law at some point. As to night crawlers comment, i think you would probably be suprised at what the police monitor.
over the last few months of the facebook campaign to save the bridge ive had policemen try to add me on freinds lists so they can be nosey.
But even if they are looking here as well.
the access point was found by a freind over a week ago. it was kept to ourselves and was monitored over the week, im very suprised after all the extra razor wire they put up less then 5 yards away they never noticed the access point and welded it shut.
then our only other fence was 2.4 meters high fully loaded with razor wire we had noticed that somebody had moved a bit of gravel undernaeth so we made moved the gravel a little more.
but the police are cringing every time they here the "direct action".
well proving a point that the inpenetrable bridge was pentatrable and with use of no tools or no damage and the fact that we got the england flag flying was my Direct action and it was a buzz doing it.

Fair play for getting onto the bridge and the flag was still flying at 2.30pm this afternoon when i nipped down after work. I did wonder how it looked as if loads of peoples notes that where stuck to the metal fence appeared to have been ripped off? so much for being the "enviromental city" when they are left to litter the floor!
anyhow got a couple of pics on the cam phone from today. Iam i right in thinking there is a gathering tomorrow? I'm on a rare weekend off so would love to show my support for keeping this stunning bridge. If anyones about it would be good to have someone to chat to instead of being on my lone some

hi kingblag, the flag you refer to is a flag that was put up there by other fellow DP users quite a few weeks ago.
the flag we put up was twice the size and when the bbc radio leicester reporter went down this morning she watched a workman take it down and drapes it over his shoulders.
i will be down at the protest tommorow with my two boys so come over and say hello, to be honest as goldie87 and diehardlove will say they are all a very freindly bunch and it often makes for quite an entertaining day.
im in talks with a mate of mine and trying to get a jazz band to play on sunday afternoon in the muiddle of the new road island they have put in placve, this should draw some attention and raise awareness of the campaign and also raise some spirits for the guys that have doen a 60+ hour week holding banners up.

I've been working ridiculously long hours this week so haven't been able to make the protests yet. Good work on the protests though. Can't believe it was sold for a quid!
I guess this week is crunch time really. I will try and get down there as much as possible this week!
