The first hot weekend of the year, coinciding today with the Mela. Or should I say 'a' Mela, there seems to be lots of them. This one celebrated the Bengali New Year. I don't know how many new years there are every year in the world, but the Bengali one keeps getting bigger.
And more expensive, I suppose. This one is heavily supported by Tower Hamlets Council. I'm not sure this is the best way to spend our Council Tax. So many people are making money out of the Mela, it shouldn't need a big cash injection from taxpayers' pockets.
Lots of Brick Lane politics behind this, no doubt.
