We're number 2

And here I was all smug some months ago about Hull being the worst place to live in the UK. Well, Channel 4 has yet another worst places to live survey out and Tower Hamlets didn't do so well, or did really well, number 2 in fact. But again, we didn't do as badly as neighboring borough Hackney which was number 1 on the list.

Hmm, and Lambeth isn't even on the list. I might hear about that one later.

Mince

Sainsburys had loads of mince pies on display today. Sigh. Christmas is
still more than two months off. Are we back here again already? Which
brings up the question, mince pies, are they a delightful seasonal treat
or are they a sticky vile disgusting food at any time of year? Not
being British, I'll probably have to pick the latter.
