Just a quick one tonight. It’s hardly worth blogging about, but since Eastenders was just on TV, I thought I’d just draw your attention to a few quirky details about this area of south-east London that I’ve noticed: firstly, in nearby Woolwich, there’s a large square that could well be a basis for Albert square. Also, on my way there, I’ve noticed a pub called the Queen Victoria. But perhaps coolest of all is the laundry nearby called Dot’s Laundry. Somebody certainly has a sense of humour. Obviously the laundry was a clear reference to the program, but whether the program was inspired by the other two I know not. Fortunately, though, nothing overly dramatic seems to happen around here, although some of the things Dan tells me could be straight out of a soap opera.

Oh yeah, you can also see where we live on the map aat tthe start of the programme.
