Attended the tfl, transport routes and your business information workshop today all tied into London 2012 at Jaylow Supplies, Argall Estate Links E10 on the old Leyton industrial village site (c.1985). The bus W19 passes it now so all handy dandy. In Summer that bus will be chocca with campers but hopefully it will ride along to Asda at Temple Mills.
What did I learn from the meeting today? That we should stock up on our supplies of tins and toilet paper now and buy from Can and Koza and all those marvellous Turkish Kurdish shops along Lea Bridge Road. Let me tell you now, Lea Bridge Road is gonna be a nightmare of a route come Olympics and Paralympics what with Spitalfields lorries trundling down the very same road away from their territory near the Games site. Small businesses will be squashed and unable to get in supplies unless they are pro-active now which is too late. Alarmed? Should be. I went a s a nosy neighbour and heard myself and others turn from positive into cynical as TFL did not have the answers. Possible too that the government will halt mobile phone airways. Hey! hey! Now we all do everything on our phones that is incredible . There will be hefty refunds to customers surely.
So glad I went and so interested to hear how employers have planned way back when for their workers and businesses. Good to see Jaylow Supplies hosting and glad I signed up to go via Eventbrite .
Worker standing next to vegetable refuse in Argall Estate. Interesting, methinks. Those were plastic carts full of calf potatoes and discarded peeled spuds, carrot heads and tails and something of the green ilk. Soup time!
Now it is freezing out there so do I really want to go to a Moslem Women’s tea club to go back in time, to hear the slide of crochet needles, to see what I can see? With mi shoes off? Do I really want to champion the reaching out to those who only peep from their hijabs and never taste my world? Aah, the one -way world of multi-cultural communities where tolerance is threadbare but nicely shrouded.
