London's ace. Never a dull moment. Especially working on the South Bank. Whenever friends back home (oop North) ask me if I'm bored of London yet and ready to come home I rattle off a whole list of what's on in town and they soon end up grumbling into their ale.
A prime example is the Festival of Britain. Where else could you go to work getting off the bus opposite a 20ft high straw fox? Brilliant.
I have a gripe though. London is a modern, dynamic forward thinking experimental city. Likewise the UK is a diverse muti-cultural ever changing society. This "Festival of Britain" is more of a celebration of Southend on Sea circa 1950. Beach huts, seagulls, allotments and war photos.
Surely Britain has more to offer? What a bleedin let-down guvnor. You'll find me at the Lambeth Country Show watching the sheep sheering, drinking scrumpy, eating jerk chicken and listening to Dub Reggae. Now that's a Festival of Britain right there.
