Phantom Pie Flinger Flings In Brighton


Brighton local paper reveals that hundreds of people are preparing to take part in the biggest custard pie fight ever staged in Britain and it will be happening in the hippest most happening City.

Yes Brighton is going to be the city chosen to have the biggest 'Pie Fight' and is the latest in a growing number of underground stunts arranged anonymously on the social networking site Facebook.
163 people have already confirmed but now the local paper have stated the date of the pie flinging, it is likely that more will attend.

It is not known who is organising the event or where it is going to be held but the date for your diaries is 24 May and the time is 3pm. Possible locations are, Preston Park, Old Steine or Palace Pier (or Brighton pier to those who do not leave in Sussex and are not aware of its proper name), but this could change so keep your eye out.

The timing of this is to coincide with the Brighton festival. For those who do not know anything of this festival it's a bit like the Edinburgh one but smaller; plus Edinburgh does not have a PIE FIGHT.

"Please pie responsibly!"

People are being sent emails and told to dress up for the event....I so need to get involved in this!
In one email sent it says: "This is just a bit of fun, and we don't want to get in any one's bad books. That way we'll be able to do it again. So we must clear up after ourselves - no leaving any litter - please help clear the place up before we leave.
And goes on to say.....
"Importantly, don't pie passers by.
And.....
"Anything you do is your own responsibility, and pieing someone who doesn't want it would probably be assault.
"Likewise, if someone who is playing has had enough and wants to stop, stop....
"This is not an organised event, so you're liable for your own behaviour and the outcome of it.
"Please pie responsibly!"

Tidy up

Sussex Police have made a statement; It seems like it could be quite good fun as long as those that are involved with it are willing participants.
"It might be fun for those who are taking part but we would ask them to be aware of others and not to let it get out of hand.
"As long as it is done in the nature in which is intended and people respect passers-by we don't have a huge problem with it.
"They seem to be taking it responsibly by asking people to tidy up after themselves."
