If you do not have a spot where do you see the parade and what about our tourists. Not a happy picture at all. Guess we seniors have to stay at home and watch it on TV.
I feel u, i saw a lady trying to secure a spot, and. saw a hamilton corporation worker, tell her that she need to move because she want the spot for her and her family. Now know, there were no marking on the side walk. Were i saw this lady setting up on sunday to try and sit. This lady worker riped up another person name, and told the other you have to move. The lady told the hamilton corporation worker, she will not be disrespectful by doing that to another by removing some else tape and sit at the marked spot with tape. She will stay were she is. That hamilton corporation worker cussed that other woman out called her names etc. The lady sat there and took the verbal beating, till she finally told the corporation im not moving, there was no marking here your name is up further why u being so disrespectful, the lady was respectful as she could be. Hamilton corporation you need to invent a soloution for thE next year. But your worker need to be repremended. I live in the city and pay city taxes, just to think i paying that rude hcw wages. Your staff was out of order rude disrespectful and out right fowl with her choice of words she cuss that girl royal.
This has got to be the shortest parade in history.. I’ll go to the beach tomorrow.
some people have nothing better to do other than to sit off on the road!
Is your life that sad truly a sourpuss SMDH
Some people really do need a life!
Some people should LIVE and let live
Lets have some ‘after’ pictures of the sites srayed, roped & taped off claiming use of public property.
It would be interesting to see who cleans up after themselves & who the slobs are. They brought all of their stuff to the parade. They should certainly be able to take their own trash away with them.
@Triangledrifter-it would be interesting to see you drift away….Do ya thang Bermoodians!Its Your day!!!
I guess you just showed the catagory that you fit into. One of the ones who feels entitled to have somebody pick up after you.
Your right, we will se trash until tomorrow and spray paint and duct tape on the roads for months
I cleaned my own. And swept my area. Im greatful to enjoy the bermuda with beautiful people
Fellow Bermudians, Continue to enjoy the tradition, be safe, and have lots of fun!
Nuffin but the truth. Do u have to comment stupidly every damn day bout every damn thing.
Jeesh. Get a life mate. Go fishing, get some leg or anything. So predictable bubby.
Night night
Go Squirt yourself in the eye!

I agree it is DISGUSTING the way Bermudians leave events! Can’t say how disappointed I am after parades.
I don’t support trash being left behind. I was going for years and didn’t leave mine, but It’s just some trash after a parade and gets cleaned up, shy*. You’ll get over it and end up being ok……..SMH
HAPPY Bermuda DAY everybody. Enjoy your day. Our family is going to the beach. No Parade this year for us. Watch the runners then of to beach we go. No this is my spot I sit here every year nothing but drama. All I can do is LOL.
Tradition, tradition, tradition…Today is a national holiday, chill out and enjoy yourselves.
