Kiwis v Boris?


Circle line pub crawl, Feb 2008

Today New Zealanders were celebrating Waitangi Day, and in the UK this means the Circle Line pub crawl. Presumably back in New Zealand they manage to celebrate it some other way.

I don’t know how this year’s Waitangi Day revellers coped with Boris’s dictat against alcohol on the tube, but last year’s event was a lot of fun.

And of course one of its main features is a haka at Parliament Square, filled with perhaps 10,000 Kiwis. Of course drinking alcohol in public had been banned there before last year’s event – and you can see exactly what difference it made in my pictures from the event on My London Diary.

I was sorry to miss it this year.
