The latter usually serves a much better cuppa as well.

Thank you, gentle author. I used to be a roving speech pathologist, in my youth, catching the bus from Hoxton to families and clients all up and down the Lea Bridge Road and Black Horse Lane. Walthamstow. My best friend and first landlady, Miss LeBideau, Accountant Extraordinaire, moved from Ealing to Walthamstow and we used to quaff several bottles of red wine before heading off to the LLGC, London Lesbian and Gay Centre, in Farringdon (now sadly gone). Another colleague, working as a speechie in Lambeth, used to moonlight as a croupier in Tottenham Court Road, earning twice her monthly wage a night in tips, and then sneak back into the office to sleep under the desk until the morning. Thank you for the memories and where can I buy the paintings? P.S. I’m now in Australia.

I recently went back to the area – the market was still there but everything had been ‘tidied’ up. I never took note of the name but used it all the time!
