Never mind your smart aleckry and Londoness, you lot upstairs, this thread stands for something. So get up off that pouffe, Jah Lush and let your elders sit down. And me with a back on me. Jesus, in my day pouffes gave you a bit more support, still can't be helped. There seems to be a consumption on the part of curtain people, that this thread may have become ropey, even started to unravel. If you could see me now, at 11:07 outside my home, greeting people as they get off the bus in the spirit of comradely love, forsaking the rigidity of convention, and just for now the restriction of clothing, I think you'd all be proud. I know I am. I've just checked, and I am proud. Proud as the oncoming sound of sirens. Mind, this damp's not doing my chest any good. And don't the ruddy council sweep up leaves any more. Honestly you could break your neck.
