Gawd blimey, guvnor, I’m obliged to you ‘n all.

I assume the ‘Albert Island’ is somewhere out by the Royal Albert Dock, near the City Airport?

I Googled it and was delivered up with somewhere in Canada.

The Grauniad version mentions proximity to the airport. Handy for shipping in bush meat.

It’ll be interesting to see if the excellent cafe at Billingsgate moves with them, I guesss it will.

Likewise, a suitably non-vegan cafe for the New Smithfield.

I haven’t been to the Billingsgate cafe for a while. I believe a return is overdue.

I was laying wide awake at 4am Tuesday unable to sleep and felt a bit peckish and was considering jumping on the bike and going to the Billingsgate cafe.. then next thing it was 9am..
I’ll remember the speed camera next time I’m along the highway .. which fortunately didn’t evolve into a NIP when I was flashed the last time i visited.
