In one of my first years of working in London, in my early twenties, I recall standing on the steps of the church in the corner of Trafalgar Square, surveying the new years eve crowd. One of our group, looking at the same scene, commented that it was ironic that the people there celebrating were mostly those who had nothing to celebrate. (We all had good jobs but hadn't yet made the leap into the contractor earnings bracket, at which point London life becomes tolerable.) -
We went up to LB on millenium eve and was one of the worst nights out I've had in London. Never again."Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny. "
