Has London changed in 200 years?
Watching Peter Ackroyd on London last night was really interesting (what, I forgot to tell you ? Oh dear) and was about the crowds of London. The greasy haired, stiff walking guy with the lisp talked about the 18th and 19th century where crime was high, people were raucous, dirty and smutty. The theatres were rife with fighting outside and inside.Centre point became area of complete poverty and prostitutes and one of the names given to whores was 'moles'. So, you may say to yourself, some things haven't changed much then have they? I also found out that the hangings took place at Tyburn , which is now Marble arch, not a few hundred metres from where i live. This could explain a lot, the people round our way look as if they need stringing up.
Quote of the week:
Cilla and Roy in the cafe at Coronation St.
Cilla: "Have you any idea how hard it is to keep Two grown men and a great dane satisfied?"
Roy loooking slightly uncomforatable: "No"
