Oh my.... I know that the UK has already strangled itself with the red tape and red tape but is this a step too far?
With the Royal wedding fast approaching, it's just been discovered that in order to organise a street party within your local community, you have to get a handful of permissions, complete pages of forms and pay huge fees to the council.
What has happened to good old community spirit?
This is just one more reason why we are so glad we left the UK before it sinks.
Can you imagine what would happen if every fiesta in Spain had to go through that kind of procedure? This could be seen as good reason to start a civil war.
Can the UK actually back-peddle and remove all these 'nanny state' restrictions?
What exactly can you do in the UK to have fun?
In the event of a Royal wedding in Spain, the country would come to a standstill and the authorities would join in the street parties. Life should contain at least a a little fun.
Long live the fiesta !!

Flamenco dresses out in force at the 2010 feria
Thursday night and we make another visit to the 2010 feria in Fuengirola
Now all the girls are in flamenco dresses... the Andalucian horses are out and the sun's still shining at 7pm
Have alook at the latest video at today's feria here
The 2010 Fuengirola Feria is well underwayThis week we have been busy filming and photographing the 2010 Fuengirola Feria. This is one of the largest ferias on the Costa del Sol and is a classic example of how the Spanish love to party and show off.
Our videos include the build up to the feria, the opening ceremony and switching on of the lights as well as the traditional Flamenco Mass on Thursday 7th October.
The feria is full of colour, music and tradition.
You can see our series of videos, uploaded within an hour of the event, here
