Haha, I did but I elected to leave the line and pay the normal price- I wanted the crowd shots 😄

…well, that’s going to bring everyone!! A local pizzeria was running a promotion tonight for their 6th anniversary- neat gimmick of £6 if you were in the queue at 6pm till 6:06pm. And you know what… I think it worked a charm. And curiously I took a picture I’ve yet to figure...
