Have you ever visited England, Captain?

Around Bristol we have culinary specialities. Umm.... cider, cider or cider?

I do a mean line in curried cow, which is surely a local derivative.

I live in East London... Jellied Eels, Pie and Mash and 24 hour Bagel shops. Not to forget Green Street nick named "Little India" great food there, if you like it hot.

I am originally from the most Easterly point of Britain though, famous for nothing, home to Captain Birds Eye and Wallis ice cream... Not far from Bernard Matthews.

Guess everyones main employers back there then ??? :yh_doh

So not only do you know where I live now you also know where I grew up ??? :yh_worry

Last time I saw the CO-OP site it was waste land where it had been leveled, there's been a few more changes since '74 too... The harbour is empty, all the fishing boats gone :yh_cry

Leytonstone (upper) next street I think is Leyton.

Used to live in Stratford, well never really been sure on that either, always seem to be on postcode boarders, it really would be a pain to have a home delivery, where would I register the birth

My favorite walk, when I lived round those parts, was east through Dalston and the street market, Bow and Mile End, down onto the river at Limehouse, and back through Wapping and Hackney. I bet most of the pubs are gone from that last bit.

capt_buzzard · Post by **capt_buzzard** » Thu May 19, 2005 2:53 pm

Was never in Hackney. I used to love Bricklane on Saturday's for the bargains
