Bandstands - I used to work every Saturday & Sunday at Prescot Nursery at the back of the council office registry offices - my boss told me the wooden band stand was rotten so we put obstacles in the way for no one to use it ...
On a sunny Saturday I was a good way off watering a massive grade 2 building of a conservatory & I heard chatter of a large group which was a wedding party - & a photographer - I dropped my hosepipe as I could see what was coming - .....
Too late, I went out waving my arms & shouting as the photographer was about to take his wedding group photo as they all amassed on the rotten wooden platform of the bandstand - I told the photographer straight away get them off the bandstand it's rotten, & not safe hence the obsticles in front of it not to use it .... -no, he stated it's a great setting for a wedding photo -
Bang it collapsed a 3-4 foot-drop all in their best wedding attire they fell down like dominoes
-I just laughed & scarpered as groans & moans of the gathering were getting back up off their arsps - Great setting hey I shouted to the wedding photographer - as I ran in to my conservatory & locked the door behind me & lay low down by the bench they were filthy clothes ripped in some cases ....
I told my Foreman back at the main nursery on the Monday & he just burst out laughing - I will get the Direct works on the council to remove it, I did ask them 6 months ago ...
The rotten bandstand was removed that day

Funny looking back how much "bombies" were such an everyday part of life. Remember finding bits of incendiaries and bringing them home like trophies.
