Tell Sid...
Taken on 19 July 2015 and uploaded 21 November 2024.
I lived in London for 10 years or so, until 1986, the last 5 years on the edge of Muswell Hill and Margaret Thatcher was my MP. She did incalculable harm to the UK: one of her most wanton extravagances was to sell publicly owned British utilities to private finance. This van is an ex-British Gas van, now burned out and valueless: when British Gas was sold the marketing campaign was "Tell Sid"...now, we pay exorbitantly for gas, electricity, water, rail - you name it - to private finance who must have ever increasing profits and pay ever increasing dividends, often to overseas owners & shareholders...so, this van is a symbol of the firesale of publicly owned assets to money grubbers.
