Hmm never know that re St Andrews, Scottish lass. thanks Sarah, Oh but Hornchurch is OK. I guess my blog wasn't too positive either. Thanks Betty, am looking forward to going back this summer. I wouldn't bother, Olga. Glad you liked it Frog, Wanstead is nice, tho. For sure Emm, that was the setting for Clockwork Orange, I think. Thanx Daisy, happy to introduce you to Billy. Probably not more than the rest of East London Robyn. There is a place called the Barking Dog that's always busy, though.David Macaulayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14873439047946166820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8786284110007207873.post-51525634667237788532011-03-15T18:58:25.981-07:002011-03-15T18:58:25.981-07:00I wonder what the alcohol consumption is like in B...I wonder what the alcohol consumption is like in Barking.
