Little details

I do not have much to report tonight – you guys will have certainly learned what’s going on nationally for yourselves – but, having lived in south east London for several months, I’m beginning to see what a sense of humour the people around here have. I keep seeing cool little things which just make me smile. The other day, for instance, I saw a yellow reliant robin marked ‘trotters independent traders’; whenever I go over to Woolwich, I pass the queen Victoria Pub; there’s even a ‘Dot’s Laundry’. I love these little details, these little references – they just make one smile. People here are very proud of who they are, but it’s good to see that they’re not afraid to take the piss out of themselves.
