Dammit! I hate being ripped off. I had to buy something from the kiosk in Shadwell so I had enough change for the bus and, just as I was getting something, the bus came, so I grabbed my change and went. I did look at my change when the bloke gave it to me, but it didn't quite register until I'd walked off that he'd given me £17.10 change from £20 for a packet of crisps and a chocolate bar. That's £1.45 each! Right, I'm going back there later.

Well, my bike was still in Mile End, untouched, so I walked it to the bike shop to be fixed by the sully, army surplus-clad lesbian couple in the bike shop. A rainbow was shining over the Bangladeshi centre and a really old couple walked past, smiling and holding hands.
