By George, I Broke a World Record!
Really, having a chance to do pointless things I wouldn’t be able to do elsewhere was a part of my reasoning to want to come and live in London. On Monday, St. George’s Day, I had a chance to do just that with a world record breaking attempt at Trafalgar Square. The objective? To have as many people as possible playing coconuts to the tune of Always Look on the Bright Side of Life. And we succeeded, having a great time in the process. Some people had magnificently dressed up for the occasion.
Everyone was in good spirits, and a lot of people stayed on after the attempt, sitting festival-style on the ground, to watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail, merrily clip-clopping with their coconuts each time a riding scene came on, not to mention the choruses of “Let’s not go to Camelot, it is a silly place”, “Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelled of elderberries” and “We are the knights who say NI!”
