Thanks for calling me a poetry and translation genius, Niall. Nostalgia is of Greek derivation, not Latin.
Cheers

The only parts I made up in that story were the less surreal elements, I saw a lot of weird shit around the South Acton Estate, a fair amount worse than the incident with the firearms. And no, none of it makes me feel like I’m living in a bad country.

A Tesco round the corner from mother has this system and while stood there scanning my items I noticed the woman next to me was picking up two items from her basket, scanning one of them then putting them both in her bag. No one questioned her, no one was watching her. I wanted to do it but felt guilty!
I finished just before she did more…
