The Cross was packed with pre-mardi gras partygoers (a considerable number of them having made the journey from Swindon, it seemed... hello you lot!). Kitty Litter hosted a night of Hot Stripper Action, where unfeasably well-endowed men in uniform bared all for the delighted crowd. DJ Lucy Lou kept the music pumping, the busy barstaff kept the drinks flowing and the party continued, I'm sure, long after we'd retired.
