3rd June 2010
Awaiting the no. 30 bus at the stop on Balls Pond Road closest to Dalston Junction I was joined by a tracksuited lady who, in the manner of a stereotypical policeman, enquired, ”Allo allo allo, what’s goin’ on ‘ere, then?”
“I’m not sure what you mean”, I replied.
Winking, she commented, “That makes two of us then, luv…”
With that, she rocked back on her heels, beamed and began whistling the theme from Coronation Street until her bus arrived.
Rob Monk found himself accosted by a woman as he attempted to enter his flat on Kingsland Road last Friday, who pointed at him and declared, “Equal opportunities! 007!”
And then, by way of explanation; “I’m from Brixton”.
