Hackney Crittall.

The death of Industry in London has taken about 25 years.

I think it has recently sped up. As a kid, I walked past a timber factory. The noise of rotary saws and the smell of fresh sawdust happily bought up by Jack the Butcher and Cooke's Pie and Mash. The birth of Industry made us a World Leader, obviously times change but we cannot all work in Tesco's! Hence a few of the chaps do their own business on the streets with drugs and knives. Why work in a shop for minimum wage when you can earn hundreds per day doing bicycle deliveries? No Police and No Parenting obviously. Maybe No aspirations, No Chance.
