Not this year obviously

I haven't been since early 1990s

Used to have a great laugh down there

Those tower blocks are bloody huge mind

I went a few times early 90’s as I lived in Atlantic wharf, it had a fine mix of being good but dodgy at any given time.

Not sure - I was involved 16 and 17, and it was a thing in the nineties.

I used to go every year, but occasionally got a bit tasty later in the evening. Saw Osibisa one year, brilliant.
