we've been invited to the Birdcage before too Amber... everyone just eats, drinks, parades and is merry. I never saw anything much very untoward going on in there, most of the action seems to go on in the carpark I thought

I saw a few, too merry 🙂

 yes they do get very merry in there Amber.. but not up to much mischief.. I used to be curious about what it was like in carpark.. but think I'll give that a miss
