Same Raja Veediya gap as first Kumbal, or does the 6:41 crowd already know the drill
We marked a Raja Veediya gap last night with a sit-mat. Second Kumbal listed 6:41. Will that same metre still exist, or does everyone copy last night and we should pick a new corner.

Do not treat last night's metre as reserved. It is pavement. Come earlier than you think. If it is taken, slide ten metres, sit low, do not argue with a family who got there first.
Second night the crowd knows. Dalada fills sooner. Raja Veediya still works if you are there with water before the listed start, not at the listed start.
We tried to reclaim a gap and looked rude. New corner, same street, no speech.
If anyone is shaky standing, a new corner with wall behind you beats a fight over last night's metre.
