What's the collective noun for a group of grannies? On my way back from my meet I was strolling along past Hyde Park Corner when I encountered a gaggle of grannies all with identical grey hair in identical nighties. Of course they were all perfectly made up young women, in their twenties I would guess. I said how great they looked and got some gorgeous smiles and a couple of "Thank you!"s.

@ninalanyon That's a rather strange sight. I would imagine they're doing some kind of event.

@22Michelle Leeds generally and Headingley in particular was full of people in fancy dress. Apparently it happens every weekend and people travel as far as from London for it.

There were varying degrees of originality, lots of cowboys and cowgirls a few men dressed as for the boozier kind of stag do in I'll fitting dresses and big boobs. As I was passing one such group one of them pulled out one of his fake tits and said to me "Almost as big as yours love."

Leeds seems to be a party town on Saturdays at least, I don't think I have ever been anywhere with so many people intent on having a good time. There were fancy dressed people in sight on my walk all the way from the centre out to Headingley yesterday evening, that's about 3 km.

@ninalanyon Wish we could join them in the party

@ninalanyon Interesting.

@22Michelle It was. And in the centre of the city there were even more ordinary people out for the evening. Lots of women in heels. The groups, both of those in fancy dress and those not, seemed to be pretty much divided into three types: all male, all female, and more or less evenly mixed.
