chris, jon, what a disaster! i was in costume when you phoned jon and couldn't have helped anyway, sorry dude.
mark, why am i not surprised?
anyway, for your reading pleasure here is an edited event report about yesterdays fantastic day 
what another brilliant troop!
meeting new faces is always great, and meeting the folks i have already met is always a pleasure too
once again, being the sandman rocked, stopping the traffic was a blast, next time i'll get si to plug the rom fx in (if there will be a next time  *hint* *hint* ) so i can join in the banter as well as standing there looking the bomb 
the centre itself was heaving with punters and like already has been said it was their busiest day in years. the punters loved us and so did the staff, the one bloke sorting out the car parking and level crossing kept coming up to me and saying what a great job we were doing. so did the lady who was sorting out the whole event (can't remember her name, racheal i think, the blonde woman, you know  )
and then, getting press-ganged into another costume, spongebob!! omg!! that was the best/craziest/most fun thing i have done in an absolute age!! to say the kids went wild when i stepped out in that costume would be an understatement! i was swamped! i couldn't see a thing in that costume because the eyes were at my chest level so i couldn't see the kids around me who wanted pics, i had to rely on them holding my hand and their moms and dads shouting to get my attention lol! absolutely fantastic (*note to self, must watch spongebob to see what the fuss is about) i am still laughing my ass off now thinking about it 
i will post up some photos later when the mrs gets home from work
martin, hope everything is ok at your end , sorry you had to dash off. the jedi school was a massive hit and the kids wanted to do it again in the afternoon!
phill, always a pleasure and at long last getting to meet emma! a pleasure (hope you enjoy your lightsabre [face_jealous]. where did you two disappear to? you missed your uncle dave as spongebob!! i need to post the photos because nobody will believe it until i do

Awww thanks! It was cool to meet you all too and the costumes really blew me away! It was my first time at such a an event and thought it was really awesome! Being stopped by a stormtrooper was really something! 
I'm soo pleased with my Luke's lightsabre (impulse purchase or what!) Now looks i've got to get into the whole Jedi costuming thing (*sigh* the things you find yourself doing for love ) to keep my Wookie happy!
We did try to find you before we left but the crush of the crowds was kinda mental!
Altogether now! "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?....."

it was an awesome day!! due to me not having to be anywhere till late i was the last to leave.... lol
big well done to Martin!! not sure if he knew the jedi school was happening again b4 he got there i certainly didnt. and he did a grand job! tho you can shorten it a lil dude 
was great to see dave wear 2 costumes in one day when 6 months ago he said you couldnt pay him to wear one...
the day was great. as dave said it was the busyest day they had had in 3 years. they filled all car parks and then a bit. and talking to i believe it was rachael at the end they had taken over £10,000 not bad goin.
was great to see all that made it
