[mwilkinson]

Saw a red stock looking Supra in the road chaos this afternoon on Hyde Park Corner. You drove past the Police van I was in.

For once no. It was an organised religious parade. It's called the Arabean parade or something very similar. Apparently it happens every year. They get to walk, 2500 people up and down Park Lane. It's a traffic nightmare. Conjestion was so bad traffic asked us to close the road which we did, much to peoples anger.

 

Having said that the people themselves were very well behaved. They had orgaised their own security and clean up crews etc. The organisation that side was impecable.

Ah fair enough, i was just going home from football and needed to get to Paddington had to go all up oxford circus and down the back roads.

 

Should have moved the cones and i'd have been a happy man

Honestly I might have considered it if not for the fact my Sgt was sitting in the van. Oh and the abuse I would of had of other motorists.

Just thought id bring to your attention dude, its a religious mourning march, its for muslims who mourn the death of the Prophet Mohammeds grand son Imam Hussain.

 

They were beating there chests right?

 

It happens every year on a period of time called 'Chelum' which refers to prayers made 30-40 days after a muslims death, in this case it was our tragic Imam.

 

I was there! lol

[mwilkinson]

Thanks for the explanation. Its amazing sometimes how little I know about religious practices.

 

Yes the guys hitting their chests were going for it. I bet that smarted in the morning.
