I Think I Might Actually Be Dead.

I would like to pretend that this is due to the fact that the residents at number 50 Beechwood were being particularly disruptive this morning but frankly I was unconscious for most of it. This disruption was purely planned in order to draw attention to the issue.

This rather neatly brings me on to the TeamGB victory parade which has just finished after bringing the commercial centre of London to a standstill on the first day of the working week. It began at Mansion House which is in the financial district. It then moved on to Saint Paul's Cathedral which was the scene of the London Occupy camp that was trying to protest against the financial district before the police forced them to set up a St Paul's in order to provoke discussion about the complex ownership of the St Paul's courtyard with some parts being owned by the Church of England and other parts being owned by large financial institutions and other parts being owned by the City of London Corporation. This was all done to uncover details about the rather complex ownership issues that revolve around my grandmother's property in order to make it easier for the Estate of the Bishop of Whitgift (Whitgift Estate) which part owns number 50 Beechwood to take ownership and redevelop the site at huge profit. This was brought up as part of the victory parade to find out what our Olympic visitors think about the situation and what - if anything - will be need to be done to resolve the situation. The parade then made it's way down Fleet Street to the Royal Courts of Justice/High Court. Fleet Street is the traditional home of the British newspaper industry so this could have provoked discussion about the Leveson Inquiry into press standards that took place at the High Court. However to be honest there are only so many roads between St Paul's and the High Court that you can fit a parade of that size down. The High Court is of course where the last round of my grandmother's Court of Protection (COP) case was heard but I've actually been there numerous times including once for a protest camp eviction and once because I was bored. The parade then made it's way to Buckingham Palace via Trafalgar Square which is the standard route for parades of this type.

As for the parade itself it was just people riding on open-top buses waving to massive crowds. Basically I think the model they'd based it on was the annual Lord Mayor's (of the City of London) Show that is held every year in November. At Buckingham Palace there was a flypast featuring the Red Arrows display team and Firefly - the British Airways jet that brought the Olympic flame to Britain from Greece. There were then a few speeches by the Prime Minister and the Mayor of London and a quick singing of the national anthem. The Scottish singer Amy McDonald which featured the lyric "I would move any mountain" a lot. This could be interpreted as a sign that Britain would be willing to do anything to resolve the errors it's made in my case but I'd be wary of taking that at face value. Amy McDonald is interesting for another reason though because many people have commented that on the last single she released in the UK her Scottish accent does sort of merge into a Scandinavian accent which highlight the ancient tribal links between Scotland and Scandinavia. This is something the Scottish first minister Alex Salmond likes make a big point of once claiming that an independent Scotland could join an arc of prosperous Scandinavian countries including for example Norway.

Most people's highlight of the show though was that moment when the compare Helen Skelton was welcoming the TeamGB athletes on the stage outside Buckingham Palace and a gust of wind blew up the children's television (Blue Peter) presenter's skirt revealing her rather risque leopard print panties to only about a couple of million people. Her co-presenter covered it with the words "Well that's one way to welcome them" but personally I'm blaming the Wind Gremlins from the closing ceremony.
