Fortunately for reasons beyond our control my youngest didn't make it to the Christmas lights switch on concert at Millennium Point in Birmingham yesterday afternoon.
The organisers had predicted a turnout of 5000 and found one of 27000. Some reports say that high winds led to to the down grading of crash barriers. Several youngsters were hurt and some are in hospital. By all accounts it could have been much worse. Thankfully we were not among the families spending the evening and night in A&E.
Somewhere in the back of my mind is a similar incident at Millennium Point a few years back. High winds were a factor there too. And whoever predicted that only 5000 would turn out for a star turn on a Saturday afternoon for free?
Questions must be asked.
