Been a few times, the first was with my girlfriend's ex, who was heavily into OI! Music and paralytic halfway into the day.
Probably in the top 10 of most stupidest things I've done.
Have you ever been to Christow?

Re: Notting Hill Carnival
I used to go all the time back in the 80's and early 90's when there were only about half a million people at best.
I never had a problem because the local Spanish community in Ladbroke Grove/Portobello were largely from Galicia so they always had their own stage/soundsystem and food stalls just under the canopy of the Westway. The local Caribbean lot were fine with us because we were friends and neighbours so if there were any wrong'uns who tried it on basically they would be dealt with pretty quickly!
It was fine but I avoid it like the plague these days...I mean 2 million odd people? Fuck that for a laugh...

Notting Hill Carnival data | Metropolitan Police
So 2 million visit each year. So with 10m visitors there has been one fatal stabbing over those 5 carnivals. 53 non fatal.
I wonder hoe that compares to other carnivals and events all over the world.
Well that's fucking lies right there because there were 2 fatal stabbings at the carnival last year - Cher Maximen and Mussie Imnetu.
Anyone that believes the Met is a fucking lunatic.

That was just round the corner from Sancho Panza and we used to wonder round. The fella off of Hollioaks had the pub at the bottom of Middle Row and they all used to work behind bar on Carnival weekend.
If you avoided the main carnival and certain sound systems it was as close to early 90's raves as you could get post 2000.

Re: Notting Hill Carnival
I've just moved to Talbot Road a couple of weeks ago. We are boarding up the front of the house with the neighbours and have a bloke in high vis sitting on a garden chair for 3 days.

Re: Notting Hill Carnival
There's got to be a point where it's cheaper to fly all the carnival participants back to their ROOTS and celebrate there for a few days rather than police & manage the whole weekend in London.

I block my diary out every year for 2 events
Notting Hill Carnival and West Ham V Spurs
...and If i had to choose between them then Notting Hill Carnival all day long.What genuine West Ham supporter would rather be at that Notting Hill stabfest rather than WHU v Spurs? Oh that's right you would Ladybender.I have no idea what you are talking about!
