Decades ago, I lived more than once in an admittedly ' dodgy ' neighbourhood in Greater London & had a chance to ' bus tables ' as we say here ( I don't think they used that expression there ) at a cafe ( a caff ) & did some other temp work -- it was once possible to do temping legally & work your way round Europe if you wished or needed to.<br /><br />A few years ago, I met some old friends & they told me that those small businesses were not only long gone from those precincts of London, but that I'd not live long if I tried to walk round there at present.<br /><br />Londonistan, indeed ! Maybe it's just as well that I haven't been there for almost 2 decades. I still have my memories of what once was. Just as my last New York visit still has those 2 towers in it.<br /><br />I don't want to bask in nostalgia, but I don't understand this weird pc world which has sprung into being. I'm frightened. I feel like that Rip Van Winkle character.<br /><br />-- dragon/dinosaurAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
