....oh and 'this one' is a laugh a minute - dazzlenation....and all because of what i had been warned about - regarding a BBC article upon the subject....anyway, this morning, i was to wheel my bike up pier avenue....to the point where there is a crossing towards magnet house....to see three 'druggies' outside of the arts and crafts shop....all on their phones...rapidly tapping out etc etc upon them.....which was all so odd because normally you would have thought that anybody waiting for a drugs-store to open, would not be standing out there, in that particular location.....for example, dona had introduced me to her friends, who tend to stand right outside of boots in order to get a prescription etc etc in the early morning.....anyway, the three men had been thin, dark smallish and sephardic-looking....dressed in black and hooded so that you could hardly see their faces at all...in a row....all outside of the arts and crafts shop - waiting until that shop pulled up their 'portcullis' of protection, in order to open the shop out to its first customers - mcgowan take note....because it was so bizarre, i've never seen anything like it before, now - in clacton....what that shop sells is art materials, airfix kits for model planes and jigsaw puzzles...not their usual customers, huh...as it goes, eh?
