Crowdsurfing only works well if it is clearly telegraphed by the surfer, and willingly accepted by the crowd - think like an enthusiastic trust fall. Given that she’s 5’6, I can’t see how she would have been landed on full force unless there was basically no warning, or the rest of the crowd around her totally bailed (in which case no-one would jump)
I’d argue that a “no crowdsurfing” sign would, for a punk band, be like a red rag to a bull… Given that she’d attended lots of their shows in the past, I think she’d have had a better gauge of how likely crowdsurfing was, sign or no.
I’m not blaming her at all - I meant that she’d have a good idea of whether or not the singer is a crowdsurfer, regardless of a venue sign being present or not.

My partner has hearing loss, so her speaking volume sometimes doesn’t match the background. Even when it’s just the two of us hand signals are useful, as they can be dropped without breaking the flow of conversation. We use basically the same as a sound tech uses to indicate back to the desk at a show - upturned palm lifting for louder, downturned palm lowering for quieter.
Hi, we haven't been abroad on a family holiday since pre-brexit. We've also now got two teenagers who are glued to their phones. While I'm sure we'll discourage them a bit, they'll still use their phones. With all the new charges for roaming, is there a good way to roam while away - or do people go for PAYG sims from the local...
We visited an East End basement bar years ago in the style of the owner's East European babushka's home and some pretty weird cocktails - eg a glass pipe with a liquid, you pour another liquid and it "smoked"....
