It was rubber revolution at the inflatable Canalival festival last weekend...
5,000 revellers descended on Spats boots' hometown of Dalston, armed with rubber dinghies, paddling pools, giant ducks, paddles and blow-up mattresses - basically anything they thought floated. They completely ignored the cancellation notice (due to the event not getting police approval) and jumped right into the stinky soup.
WHAT A RIOT!
There was a lot of horseplay, some well-deserved duckings but thankfully no one got hurt, even as they tried to navigate their way through the giant jaws of the locks spewing out tonnes of water on totally inadequate bits of flotsam.
Much fun was had by all - so hats off to the (un)organisers!
