Not A Lot Of People Know This

Today's the day when a bunch of 'flash gits' impersonating Michael Caine and 'giving it all a bit of that' are due to descend on Margate.

The 'flash mob', as they quaintly call themselves, will be gathering in Cecil Square at 3pm, and spending the next couple of hours circulating through the town, calling each other 'muppets', and shouting to each other that they were 'only supposed to blow the bloody doors off'. This will be followed by a concert at the Winter Gardens, where they will be performing 'This Is The Self-Preservation Society' and other popular Michael Caine songs.

They are then scheduled to head back to 'the smoke' in their cute little red, white and blue minis, but in a spectacular stunt they will, in fact, push the cars off Nayland Rock, decamp into an original 1969 Bedford VAL six-wheel coach, and subsequently attempt to drive that off a cliff near Reculver.

Very impressive, 'lads', and the best of luck with the day.

I went past at exactly 3pm, and all I could see was a group of seven teenagers, one of whom was attempting to climb a traffic sign.

Not very flash, not much of a mob.

Yes, many people have accused me of not being real, and of making this whole thing up. To those people I say: "How on earth could I make this whole thing up, if I wasn't real?"

There you go, try that one on old Descartes.
