23. I also got a copy at Tottenham Court Road and loved the cover so much, am planning to frame it (somehow).

7. Canary Wharf?

20 - The Queens Head know their local customer base and will bank their deposits for 6 months. The clientele was very different when I worked nearby half my lifetime ago - mainly postal and office workers.

10. Skep. You know better than to call it a beehive ;)
27. That is an utterly brilliant picture that totally encapsulates that world. So much to look at.

4 - its the stage of a major star's career when the audience just wants to say that they've seen them.
24 - the job of a politician is to make decisions, instead in the US they outsource the tough ones to 'the constitution' and then whine about the results.
25 - yes the 1978 Pride flag is no longer inclusive enough - perhaps they'll add a wheelchair blob next.

19 - I've always loved that view of the Dawson's Heights estate from the Horniman. It certainly looks like a cool place to live. Though as someone in South London with an under-12 in the house I already spend far too much time in the Horniman. Sadly let my membership elapse during the lockdowns and am trying to decide if it's still exciting enough for a soon-to-be 12 year-old.

9. I'm smack middle of that 7-57 age and I'd have been pretty thrilled to be on that Met Line train.

14. Fax machines are perhaps rarer than pagers these days. But I recently saw one over which a large notice read: "Do not remove - emergency photocopier" :)

26 - We did it first thing in the morning as I was going out for the day and rushed it, guessing M and B straight after trying D. Luckily we had got there in three so still had room for R on the sixth row the equally most likely solution we had all completely overlooked.
Diana Ross, ouch. Paul McCartney plus friends, good.

27: Typeface is either Data 70 or Westminster. They are "closely related". I saw another shopfront example in Anstruther, Fife, in 2017.

30. There may be members of staff who have done so. As for me, I've been on just three trains in June, and one of those was powered by steam

9 - I heard on the travel news there were animals on the line, and wondered what on earth... Thanks for explaining, and I would have loved that route. However, have done the North Curve on Steam on the Met.

9: Never ridden the North Curve but I have walked it in the dark, an interesting place to work.

27: Is the 'C' in the Clarks logo supposed to look like the toe of a shoe? And if so, why didn't they make the 'l' longer so it looks more like the tongue?

27. A small bunting-required celebration taking place above the cobbler. I wonder what the batteries are doing that might encourage passers-by in to to the cobbler to watch them. Oh, and the traffic light is showing amber. Nicely caught.

So pleased you added in the 27 photo. It is great.

14. Google streetview seems to be giving it a good go. I make it 13 drive pasts since 2008.

1. Make the hard work feel worthwhile :)
6. Exactly. Better the devil you know until you can boot them out yourselves later!
9. How exciting!
12. Shame. It's an area I know well so would have enjoyed reading about it.
16. Kind people are all around us :)
22. It's scary how many fictional dystopian futures are becoming more of a reality. It's like they're being used as manual!

12. Late to this one, but I'm with Cornish Cockney on that: Exciting to know that you were in the area and hopefully making lots of interesting notes! Hope you'll be sharing those with us at some point.
