Forgive me, but I did laugh when I read this. I’m glad other people have days like these. Some of life’s most memorable moments seem to happen on trains. Never mind. I loved reading about yours.

Cheers

Essex does exist however like the Shire in Lord of the Rings it seems to have been over run by Orcs.

Strawberry beer?

I’m not a beer drinking, not fond of the taste, but I might go for strawberry beer.

But, really, strawberry beer?

Alas, it is real. All too real. And I happen to live in it.

I think it is a great story. Where is this imaginary land called Essex? You describe it as though it were real. It is a very convincing tale. LOL!

Oh Mitzi, you are a star. Giggled through my tea this morning, reading this. I’ve not been to Camden in an absolute age! You’ve inspired me not to go, again, for a little while. If you like markets (and I’m not sure where you live) you should try Greenwich Market on the weekends for trinkets and items of interest – especially good to visit with the run-up to Yule.

I work in Camden, and it’s a complete and total tourist zone these days – I used to shop for clothes here, but it’s become full of hucksters keen to charge you £70 for a second hand leather jacket that looks as if it’s been run over by a lorry sixteen times. Mind you, perhaps I just need to get better at haggling.

There are hardly any record shops here these days, either – even the commercial chains (Virgin and Tower) have gone.

As for Essex – don’t get me started. My parents moved there from London when I was eleven, and I’ve hardly forgiven them for it.

I’ve not seen a ‘bullet belt’ in years. Back in the day, a friend of mine bought one to wear to an Iron Maiden concert, however, when he got home he found that he couldn’t get it off again… He had to raid his dad’s toolbox for a spanner and a screwdriver to free himself. Sometimes you just have to suffer for your style…
