Hello from sunny London

[Ment]

Welcome from Greenwich @Gerald Short

Like the Kate Bush / Wilhelm Reich cloud-busting avatar there.

Hope you find POTV helpful, must rush now I'm afraid, as I have to head out into the
desolate wastelands of South London to meet with the other members of my hunting party.

I lived down your way for a while in the eighties, on Blackheath Road.

I passed through there recently and I can't believe how much it's changed, but it's the same everywhere I suppose.

Welcome to the Planet.

I've lived in East London all my life, but unfortunately I have to venture south of the river to work, in Greenwich.

 

[KetracelWhite]

It sure has - mainly it's all being turned into ' investment vehicle ' apartments for wealthy people in Shanghai who never
actually come here so they can hide their dodgey money. Which is quasi-ironic when you consider where large
quantities of our income is ultimately ending up...

I live just about in Greenwich Town centre so there's a relatively advanced culture here, if only still pre-agrarian.

We were though, brave enough to visit Catford a month or so ago - the psychological scars are still healing...

 

[speedfreek67]

Unfortunately, I'm responsible for the large heart shaped object hanging above one of the entrances to Greenwich market. Has it fallen on anyone yet?

 

[KetracelWhite]

Nice, I like the branding job - the market needs all the love it can get.

 

[KetracelWhite]

aha - I see - that's really nice, they did a really good job on that new part at the front.

 

[speedfreek67]

These ones? Unless I missed something new/ more complicated ?

Nice, I like the branding job - the market needs all the love it can get.

Not those ones, it's a large 1.4 metre wide blue circle containing a red heart, above one of the side entrances, out on the street side. They had a green leafy one there for a while, but replaced it a couple of months ago with a wooden one I made.

 

[KetracelWhite]

Ah, that's why - I saw the green leafy one but have not clocked the new one yet
- have been v. busy/ in another work based reality - will look next time I'm passing. Cool.

Kate Bush is my heroine! Recently started getting back into vinyl and recently bought 4 albums from a record shop funnily enough in Greenwich [emoji23]
