    I recognise a lot of that.

    But worryingly for me, they say that he who is tired of London is tired of life. Or was that Paris?

      In the words of Spike (quoted by Bob Dalek)

      ""London! Steaming metropolis of grot, grime, grit, gunk and gunge, mugging, Molotov cocktails, rape, football hooligans, bombs and assassinations. Dr Johnson said, 'He who is tired of London is tired of of life' - **** him. Faceless monstrous buildings thrust mindless and screaming up to the sky, a style known as Art Lego. Buildings that, because of their sterility, denied the artisan work, the woodcarver, the marble and stone mason, the marquetry expert, the brass inlayer, the iron craft master, the plaster moulder - all now lost in the four million unemployed. Architecture was dead, construction was in, slot square A into slot B continue upwards and voilá! An enclosed space with glass. Classic London squares systematically ruined - vistas of St Paul's blocked out. The cause of conservation in only just alive. How can there be any strength in depth when one day Michael Heseltine is Secretary for the Environment, his task to conserve, next he is Minister for War, whose job it is to destroy, next, he's not a minister at all! A big laugh. Even the heir apparent, who can't stand what they are doing and speaks out, he won't stop it. Even as he speaks the Seifert clan are designing a monstrous edifice that will destroy and dwarf the Limehouse area. The conscience of the nation is made up of money and money alone, it seems the whole city exists on a tightrope of finance, a dollar drop in the price of oil and the brokers swallow Valium and tulip themselves. Jesus, is this the lot you died for? The young innocent and the confused take to drugs and end up in asylums. This is the city that will welcome Lalkakas. At this moment they were being awakened from their betel-nutted dreams."
