Had one from Paddington to Tooting Broadway a couple of weeks ago, and maybe on the same day, Nine Elms to Golders Green, both about £50. Maybe a couple of those a month. Although I have dropped off at Heathrow many times, the examiner who gave the talk on the day I got my badge said she'd never picked up from there because that's a too complicated other world, and what happens to them is they lose their Knowledge.
Yeah, also went in The Gun in Homerton (£6.30). I prefer my 1860s pubs not to have large, neon signs in them, and to retain something original: the bar, the windows, the ceiling... something. But that's perhaps not the hipsters' fault and at least they're keeping it alive. It's David Lynchian inside; wrong, but yet not wrong. A pile of free
CRACK magazines on one of the tables, and terrific music, suggestive of a whole ocean of great music I've never heard, namely the
A Path Through Haze radio show. What the cool kids are up to.
