24 February (Part 3) - Demo? What demo?
It’s the same every time, you can spend half a day working on a complex blog,
trying to make sure it is simple and easily understood and get little thanks for

Bonkers showed a few pictures of the Thamesmead car park

Half a dozen people were huddled in a corner against the bitter cold and when I
spoke to them they looked me up and down with suspicion, then looked away and said nothing.
They have a problem, but no one was willing to discuss it.
