"Talking about living in London"

Time Out (London Magazine) 03 - March - 1999

Lives in:
Islington

Why there?
I was born and bred here. I lived in a council house till I bought my own place recently. I've had hardened communists saying, 'You're mad! You should have bought the council house first and sold it.' I thought: Fuck it, if people think I'm a mug let 'em, but making a profit on it left a bad taste in my mouth.

What do you like about it?
It's in Islington.

What do you like about living in London?
It's a real mixed community. My brothers live here, most of my friends live in north London and town is only 20 minutes away.

If you were to move, where would you move to?
Brazil, cos that's where the nuts come from.

What's the worst thing about trying to find somewhere to live in London?
Estate agents! The people I finally got my place through were really cool but I did meet some wankers.
