We were having a chat about characters. One of the regulars a Londoner from Acton was having a chat about London in the 70s when he lived in the capital and worked for London Transport. I know London well and we spoke of our favourite bits as well as characters. I liked Camden and used to visit the place a lot. He lived for a time in Spitalfields and mentioned Boudicca Redd- a local character in the East End. On the subject of eccentrics Lord Berners came into the conversation and his habit of painting doves different colours.
The next man was also a liker of London and said he used to drive a lorry down the AI before the motorway was built. He said he had seen some sights in the 60s. I was intrigued.
A rather short tempered Eastern European who was tutting and ramming her trolley into the legs of the elderly couple who were moving slowly out of her way. I would have thought she would be used to the principle of queueing given her age and nationality
