Not so much a flash mob as a flesh mob

[RevdKathy]

This story is something that really only could happen in Britain:

Just a week after Leicester's civic leaders admitted they were unprepared for a zombie invasion, a horde of the "undead" has shuffled through the city.

About 150 people in horror make-up took part in the "mass shamble", according to organiser James Dixon.


The mob "groaned and pressed themselves on the glass" at the council's offices.


It followed news last week that a "concerned citizen" had used a Freedom of Information request to ask how the authority would tackle a zombie attack.

There's a great quote from one of the organisers who said:

"A few of us are in the pub now - it's been a really good day."

Looks like the silly season started early!


(Let the puns commence)

Well done to Leicester council for joining in the fun and answering the information request.

Looks like they're actually quite common, though not for this reason...

I wonder if this is what they were drinking in the pub.

^I hope so, if it wasn't it is in my head.

Isn't that always the way?
