I don't care how many people turn up - as long as its a lot! Enough in fact to block the roads :) 
That'll be fine providing everyone brings along a bucket (or two) for collecting whatever can be 
legally extracted from other onlookers:)

Well, the driver could well be detained - even though he's entering a British Commonwealth country 
at the Canadian border. Maybe the Canadian authorities have already discovered I'm still banned for 
life as a fare-paying passenger with Alitalia and that I was thrown out of the People's Popular 
Democratic Republic of Yemen in 1979 for drinking illicit booze on the Prophet's birthday. Apart 
from those two misdemeanours, I *think* I'm fairly 'sin-free.' :) But would those that really know 
me agree?
