I did the crazy thing of ordering items over the internet a couple of weeks ago. I had the vague hope that they would be delivered to me. Thousands of people do this daily. So why oh why have I had such a problem and still not received my goods?

I was stopped in my tracks again on my morning walk a few days ago. As I was passing the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel a man pounced from the entrance door steps. He did a crazy star jump and landed directly in front of me, legs akimbo and arms skywards. He had on a […]
