But Dirka, you did not say what the contest was - only that you did not win!! Very nice photos by the way.
I went up to London on Saturday (St. Patrick's Day) but you would not have known that it was other than just an ordinary day - I saw nothing there that told the world that it was St. Paddy's day.

A few days ago, I posted another thread about the contest. A local ratio station, Rock 103, hosted Show Us Your Shamrock at TJ Mulligan's.

Ah! Thanks for the explanation Dirka. I'm afraid I have time these days only to Lucky Dip our threads. I KNOW I must be missing so much, but it's that or no 'X Marks' at all for me - and that, obviously, would be unthinkable!

Well, the Irish *used to* celebrate in London.
I can't remember any parades, but I do remember attending the ball in St Pancras town hall -- the biggest hall I'd ever seen, it seemed -- packed with millions of energetic Irish doing every dance on the program. An Irish ceili dance can last 10 - 15 minutes, non-stop.
Barely time to swallow a gulp of Guinness and on to the next dance.
Exhilarating! With such fantastic rhythms, you just could not sit down (not that I remeber seeing any seats, any way).
In those days (40 years ago), only the solo performers wore kilts.
Times have probably changed. In those days the solists were men. All the films and photos today seem to be of young wenches in mini-skirts.
Martin,
in nostalgic mood.
