              Yes, they've rebuilt it.

                East London wasn't (re)built in a day, you know.

                  Many years ago I was having lunch with the permies at the then clientco and they were discussing the then new London marathon through the East End. One bright spark said in all sincerity, “I didn’t like the look of where they went from the aerial shots. The place looked like a bomb hit it”.

                  How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                      I have toughed it out for 4.5 years, now no more, think its actually got worse.

                      So I am off to West London, goodbye East London, wont miss you
                      Which part are you in then? People are not generally p!ssed out of their heads where I am, their religion doesn't allow it. Of course, the smell of cannabis does hang heavy in the air instead......

                      Over the past 20 years I have lived in Bow, Forest Gate, East Ham, Poplar, but have never felt safer than I do now ....... in a gated community next to Canary Wharf. I've only been robbed at knife point once in all that time ......
