The 58 bus doesn't go to Victoria, it meanders through the East End up to Walthamstow. Is this photo in America?

Yes, it is. It is a street food vendor, kitchen on the bottom, seating on top.

The complaints from people complaining that the thread's not what it used to be, aren't what they used to be.

Wow ! That takes me back. I thought we were the only people that had that. In America, it seemed peculiar to Peoria, Illinois. (Home Juice Company) Never heard of anyone else having this. A box for the milk, a box for the juice on the porch.

I still can get milk delivered, and, oddly enough, organic fruits and vegetables.

Oh yes, and that table that you used to get at the back of a road atlas to work out the mileage between major towns and cities. As a kid i used to quiz my dad on these from the back seat of the car, he was a sales rep. and was annoyingly good at that game.
