Never a dull moment

Long ago, in happier times, I lived in Highams Park. This "green and pleasant neighbourhood" was profiled recently in the property section of the Independent (Robert Liebman, "It's a walk in the park", 14 February 2006, p.14). Local highlights in E4 include a blue plaque on Jubilee Avenue: "Plastics Historical Society: On this site, from 1897-1971, stood the Halex factory of the British Xylonite Company".

Steady on now.
Although I mock, I still think that closing the local hospital is a really bad idea.
