[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I'm your man.

It's funny to remember now that prior to the M25 and the Dartford tunnel, that was the only way for me to reach the M1. A2, Blackwall Tunnel, Hackney, Dalston, Highbury Corner, Holloway Road... it took fúcking hours.

The place is practically baconfrei.

I once went to Golders Green on a Saturday morning in search of a salt beef sandwich. With Ian Harvey. Naturally, everything was closed because every **** was at schul.
