evenin' all, are we still here then? Well, what a lovely day. I put on my tropical kit and had my native bearers carry me to a place called Hackney, not somewhere I have ever ventured, but it was open house day and I decided to have a look at some of the places in this strange foreign land. Alas the Hackney Empire was supposed to be open and wasn't, but I did get to see a handful of other interesting buildings.
Kit, I'm afraid I probably haven't been to Neal St much more recently than you have; I once worked in central London but that was many years ago, and since I have retreated to leafy suburbia I don't go in there much. But if I'm there, I will keep my eyes open on your behalf.
Come to that, I don't seem to come on AB quite as much as heretofore... there is an awful lot of unpleasantness going on out there, isn't there? At least in the days of the section which shall be nameless the old Ed used to wade in in her wellies every morning and hose it down, but the current one doesn't seem to do anything much at all and the place is just filling up with racial tirades and insults, which I find all very upsetting. Wasn't this place once a Q&A site, or is my memory failing even more?
Harrumph, time I moved again, to Tunbridge Wells...
Bah!
