How many people?

I don't know how many people were in Birmingham City Centre tonight for the Christmas Market and other events,but the whole place was totally jam packed around the main shopping streets, and the Squares around the Town Hall and Council House and the Library. We were on our way to the theatre and we had to push our way through the throngs until we could find a place to take a blip!

This was our second trip of the day into the city - shopping this morning - some good bargains around. Train service was running well all day and thankfully the train home at 23.01 had 6 carriages on it and there were no spare seats.

We went to see "The Judas Kiss" which is about Oscar Wilde's relationship with Lord Alfred Douglas. It was in a small studio theatre and was excellent. It was advertised as having some nudity... boy did it have some nudity! Male and female, but particularly male!!!! One young man spent about 30 minutes lounging around on the floor and a bed totally starkers and about 2 yards from the audience! Well!

I've just about recovered...
