Today I learned a two valuable lessons that I will hold forevermore:
1. Leyton is NOT Luton
2. People in the UK take Bank Holiday weekends SO seriously that really (no, really) nothing will happen until Tuesday... perhaps Wednesday.
Thanks to the kind folks at P&J Entertainments, I was able to dig myself out of a hole caused by lesson #2 and salvage an event in the final seconds before complete meltdown (i.e. weekend of darkness).
I went to the storehouse in Leyton (not Luton) and OM-Good God, this was a complete wonderland of party supplies. While I was filling out my deposit information, I took a peek at their in-shop catalog and beheld the wonders it housed. Some of P&J's notable rental options include:
-Bouncy Boxing
-Dunk Tanks
-Gladiator Dueling
-Human Table Football
-Pony Hop Horse Racing
-Rodeo Reindeer
-Tin Can Alley
-Donkeys and Farm Animals (Note this, Lizzie G)
-Pop-corn and Candyfloss
-Santa's Grotto
-Pirate Galleon Ship
-Hook A Duck
-Magic Bendy Mirrors
-Surf Simulator
And while I was curious to find out exactly what the, ahem 'Oriental Parties' entailed, I went with giant Jenga, giant Connect-4 and giant Snakes 'N' Ladders and called it a day. I'll dabble in my racist tendencies next time there's a Royal Wedding on. read more
