Little Storping-in-the-Swuff: Lewes

Last night, another spectacularly entertaining evening of “mock” sectarian hatred and people dressed up as North American Indians.

These pictures aren’t up to the standard of the picture I posted last year taken by The Pirate King, but they give a flavour…

This year the bonfires were on the 4th because they don’t hold the event on the sabbath. Don’t forget, after all, that this is religiously motivated. Lewes’ Jireh Chapel is, I believe, the only church of Ian Paisley’s fanatically protestant Free Presbyterians in England. There’s also an article on ianpaisley.org in which the Rev talks about the Romanist conspiracy and describes the Lewes bonfires as a “vital reminder”.

So this probably won’t be of much use to readers of the world wide web who might come across this post, unless you happen to live in Lewes, Brighton or Hove. Hence a new Lewes category.

If you do, this widget gets real time bus departures from the council transport site for any stop you nominate, much as the Tubetrack Dashboard Widget can do for National Rail stations.

And for Lewes citizens, this brings us real time information that we could never even have at the bus stops, as they don’t have indicators here… Nice one, Quentin North!
