Anyway last Saturday I helped out with the procession for Eel Day at Ely by volunteering as a steward, standing there waiting for it to start it became obvious that there was quite a hussle of Town Criers also in the parade. Naturally enough I started to wonder what the collective noun or words would be for such a gathering, see picture below, and that was less than half of them.
So I voiced this thought to the other stewards waiting to help with the procession. After some thought the words suggested by a thoughtful Mark were "a disturbance of Town Criers".
What can I say, it fits, might not be too popular with the aforementioned Town Criers but!
