I went last night, superb evening, Lord Street like a mini Champs Elysee, a pub at each end of the course. Coffee shops with tables ouside to watch the action from, next to no spectators, locals complaining they had no advance notice. I made a video, but it's on ITV 4 tonight 7.00pm if you don't want to spoil it. Many will not like the music 'Let it all Blow' by the Dazz Band.
