How to engage 400 people at one time




Some builders burst a mains pipe outside the studio the other day. It pretty much entertained us for a good 30 minutes. 30 MINUTES it went on. We discovered why, when we went outside (to take more photos). The builders had dealt with the situation by running to their van, opening a beer and reading the papers.
There were kids down the street, dancing (and screaming) around in it. How did they know it wasn't bad water?
The people in the offices opposite saw us watching them watching and gave us smiles that said, "this is MAD, what a lark ", and we all became friends for that 30 minutes.
