Yesterday they were finally removing the barriers from the marathon. All week I've been wondering why they (that would be the council, I presume) didn't do it before, considering that the marathon was a full week ago. I guess it doesn't matter in the greater scheme of things, but I'm just thinking that back home (DK) they would have removed them as soon as the marathon was over. For safety reasons and because they don't look that good. Given how many vandalising kids we have around here, I'm surprised that they (council) aren't more worried about the potential danger of leaving barriers out for their (kids) general amusement. They set fire to cars, you know.
It kind of reminds me of Notting Hill - when I lived there I'd find chicken in the streets weeks after the carnival was over. But at least, if you're hit on the head with chicken, you'll probably still survive.

- and happy Easter to you too
