*No having fun.

I used to enjoy having lolly scrambles when I was a kid in Invercargill. Boy did you have to be quick.

The driver would be unaware, due to looking through a peephole that only faces forward, hidden underneath a decorated float.
The snapping forearm of the child as it goes beneath the rear wheels would barely be felt within the vehicle, with any movement assumed to be from people moving on top of the float.

The screams of the child would put a serious chill into everyone around them, leaviung a nasty Xmas memory for a lot more people than just the child.

As for the water pistol ban - common sense. Would you expect Santa to be pleased if the roles were reversed and that people could spray him? It's a street party, not a beach party. Water is inappropriate.

I really don't know how we were even born with all our ancestors had to go through. What a bunch of boring people are around us these days.
