One on one? You're crazy.
In pub news , I heard today that The Clapton Hart has been sold , Antic, who are having financial issues, have sold it to another pub company. It used to own part of the Billet , and owns about 40 odd pubs. My source used to work for them , seems to think they are good guys.

Total bollards: the iconic ‘eco-Blade Runner’ roundabout that became a grim £132m ‘abomination’
Boasting hovering haloes and futuristic forests, Old Street roundabout was meant to be a shining beacon for Britain’s very own Tech City. Instead, we have 120 hefty bollards and paving built to deter rough sleepers
What a mess. And a ludicrously expensive mess at that.Sue

I'd be interested in a breakdown of that figure.
How much was spent by the councils on the design and build of the actual thing (which I think is fine, although nothing special to look at and with a few issues that aren't enough to ruin it)
Vs how much was pissed up the wall by Cameron & Johnson on their ridiculous pie in the sky headline grabbing nonsense with superstar architects that was totally ignored by the actual project.

One on one? You're crazy.
So...saw a bloke on a bike nicking an old man's phone , he then cycled towards me & I blocked him & he clattered into me & we both fell over , then loads of folk got involved, the wheel fell off the bike , he was trying to get the wheel back , a woman offered him the wheel for the phone. It was all getting out of control for him when more folk turned up , so he dropped the phone & scarpered. Just before it happened , me & mrs21 had seen him & a mate all masked up & hoodied up when the cycled past us on Ickburgh road, then it kicked off on Brooke Road. Old man & wife were taken to a nearby house by a lovely resident (he was bleeding) but came back & thanked me , police turned up quickly , took the bike. I'm a bit bruised on the elbow & knee , Mrs21 fell into a trench (is ok) . Old fellah had got a train from Bethnal Green but got the Enfield one rather than the Chingford , so got off at Rectory Road to walk to Clapton. All ended well , phone thief fucked up majorly.

Hackney carnival was a lot of fun.
Crazy police presence by The Victoria though, formed up in a square.

These guys were my faves. I think they just rocked up without being part of the official parade. They had a couple of “drum offs” with some of the floats and some great getting the little kids in the audience to dance moments too.
