This is East India

[owdbetts]

I stand within an articulated car of the Docklands Light Railway, reading the Evening Standard whilst trying not to fall over as the computer-driven train lurches unevenly. A disembodied voice declares, incongruously, "This is East India", but I notice too late. When I look up from my newspaper all I see through the window is East London.

Have you found anywhere to live yet?

Hopefully -- I'm applying to rent a maisonette in Stroud Green, but it's still "subject to contract", as they say.

That is beautifully observed and written.

I hope the London job is going well :-)

Thanks!

Job is going well so far. Interesting work, nice people, and I think I've now got past the scary OMGWTF phase... :-)
