At Unit 8 in Carol Street Workshops, luthier Michael Cameron fixes guitars - useful if yours gets damaged playing too many carols.

So glad you encountered some typical Newham social interaction DG, it is what gives the Borough some of its unique ambience

“don’t you come fucking fucking” is an unusually complex construction. Three consecutive verbs used as different parts of speech. Such a flexible language.

I love how you can find so much history for such obscure streets and better still, make it interesting!

I was supposed to do some work at home, but then clicking on the link to the 1897 map distracted me a little bit, lol.

The f-ing exchange has some distance to go before it meets the f-ing-c-ing exchange, I'm sure I've mentioned before, that I overheard in the aisles of Bromley-by-Bow Tesco.

A verbal altercation that didn't require knives, makes a nice change.
Looking at the map, until the construction of New Plaistow Road turned it into a backwater, Church Street used to be the main road, so at one time a resident of Gift Lane would have had a choice of trolleybus routes 669, 697 and 699 from the end of the road - you can see the trolleybus wires in the 1952 photograph of The Angel that you've linked to (it looks like there were tram tracks in the 1919 photo).

Regrettably, because of progressive education policy, the younger part of our population cannot tell the difference between f****** the adverb and f****** the verb, perhaps to their disadvantage there.

What I overheard a few months back was even better:
"You lot are fucked!, I'm gonna fuck you up you fucking fuckers!"
Makes one so proud of the English language.

A 70s/80s England spinner (cricket) on his bad back: "the fucking fucker's fucking fucked".

You've just taken me back over half a lifetime ago. My nan used to live in the Alms Houses in Gift Lane right opposite the pub. When visiting her we had to get her medication from the said pub but were told forcefully not to clink the bottles on our return. We travelled there on the District Line from Upminster Bridge and caught a trolley bus from Plaistow Station. What possessed them to remove London's Trolleybuses? Thanks DG for taking me back to Memory Lane and for all your daily posts.
