Re: March on Blackburn Rd?
Is it not the annual march? It used to pass Eagle Street, sure it is some sort of celebration

Re: March on Blackburn Rd?
It will be their annual march, it is a peace thing, most of the men should be wearing white hats with little holes in, they have a huge march through blackburn too, it's a bit of an arse being stuck on the bus right behind them, they don't walk fast

They're probably demanding the restoration of Halal chicken in the local KFC.

Re: March on Blackburn Rd?
Someone's just posted on Facebook there's a big protest at KFC.
Don't know if the two things are connected.
Certainly time wise it means it was a very slow march.

That seems reasonable enough, but what was all the shouting? can he not hear prayers?
