How the other half live!

Meandering through Mayfair the other day I popped into the 'Punch Bowl' for a quick pint. "A pint of Kronenbourg please" "That will be £4.30 please sir" "Fuck me is it gold-plated?" No response!
Anyway I take my pint outside to enjoy the vista and low and behold there are a couple of archetypal sloan traders standing next to me "fucking labour" "fucking trade unions" "just bought a house in the cotswolds" Drank my pint swiftly and went.

Another glass cube with some books!

The all singing all dancing new Enfield Library has opened and true to form it is a glass cube with a cafe, pc's, self-service borrow and return, a 'teenage zone' and all the other accoutrements of a 21st century library. They also, you'll be pleased to hear, have some books upstairs, 'airport' and 'beach' reads, neither quantity nor quality!
Things could have been worse they could have renamed it, as Hackney did, the 'Technology Learning Centre (TLC)' or 'Totally Lost and Confused' as the staff called it.
