They also live in multi million quid houses, but have to use a laundrette as they lack washing machines. I agree it’s not a realistic depiction of this frankly hideous East End I lived in in the late 80s. We didn’t even have chairs, or a floor, to scrape them on. Just Dad’s fists for dinner again

Admittedly, we were lucky to have a Dad that had fists.

Currently opening some very late delivered post on a Sunday bank holiday, turns out I was adopted according to my DNA test to see if I was related to myself. A great service by privatised Royal Mail that completely emotionally destroys EVERY aspect my life, I hope you feel 😍 about your comment

“This square ain’t big enough for the both of us” sang Sparks. But you’re right, it wasn’t. The Dagmar was a wine bar based around the corner. I only know this as a superb old friends wife’s middle name is Dagmar and she STILL refers to it when drunk, along with its rapist landlord Wilmott-Brown.
