Hackney chitter-chatter &tc

Feeling a bit sorry for Hackney's Orthodox Jewish community today with this weather, it's their Purim celebration when the kids wear fancy dress and the young guys ride around playing Kletzmer music.

Quite a few of my friends -- the ones renting privately basically -- have moved out of the borough over the last five years due to rocketing rents. It's disgusting.
used to know lots of people who lived in hackney, but so many have moved out... tbh the places they're moving to are gaining whereas so many yuppies and hipsters move into hackney, all over the shop, the borough's almost unrecognisable. yeh you knew shit was happening in e.g. shoreditch and up the kingsland road but all along the canal - and estates ripped down to make way for yuppies...
