So on Saturday while waiting for the Tibetan protest to arrive in Trafalgar Square I was surprised by a banana flashmod in aid of Fairtrade. Turns out the last two weeks have been Fairtrade Fortnight and there has been a series of events to highlight the campaign. This years theme was bananas, with some sort of record attempt to eat the most bananas in a 24 hour period.
Anyway to mark the last day of the fortnight this flashmob was held in London. It saw somewhere between 20-30 people who were dressed as bananas and gorillas gather by the National Gallery who then just started dancing. Very funny to watch, especially the gorilla playing the drums (like the Dairy Milk advert), and all in aid of a very worthwhile cause.

Wow, you’ve been prolific in posting in the time I’ve been away. There goes another opportunity to see a live flash mob. I’ve never seen one!

This was the first one i’ve ever seen live as well! Fun to watch. I think there’s another flashmob this weekend (sort of) called the Brides of March. Bunch of people, men and women, dressed as Brides marching through London from St Pauls Cathedral to Trafalgar Sqaure. Its basically a pub crawl, but should be fun to shoot.
