It’s where Jeffrey Archer met one of his nemeses back in the eighties, and the trade continues here as it has done for hundreds of years. Which makes it an entertaining place [...] http://www.joeldown.org/oldjod/628.php/feed 0 http://www.joeldown.org/oldjod/628.php http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/downandout/~3/YcWcOneZ_VE/627.php http://www.joeldown.org/oldjod/627.php#comments Sun, 15 Feb 2009 14:28:18 +0000 Joel http://www.joeldown.org/oldjod/627.php To be precise, my Nana – when did this word fall out of fashion? http://www.joeldown.org/oldjod/627.php/feed 0 http://www.joeldown.org/oldjod/627.php http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/downandout/~3/prKIIOIVEDo/626.php http://www.joeldown.org/oldjod/626.php#comments Sat, 14 Feb 2009 14:27:26 +0000 Joel http://www.joeldown.org/oldjod/626.php It’s a sign of the times for Tooting Bec and for real estate. The estate agent on the corner of Stapleton Road has subdivided, turning over two-thirds of its floor space to a non-chain coffee shop. For the record, I’d sell my property through Walker Wyatt (for the right price) – they’ve provided good advice [...] http://www.joeldown.org/oldjod/626.php/feed 0 http://www.joeldown.org/oldjod/626.php http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/downandout/~3/KtrOE0y2GoQ/625.php http://www.joeldown.org/oldjod/625.php#comments Fri, 13 Feb 2009 14:26:50 +0000 Joel http://www.joeldown.org/oldjod/625.php Another BA Club World toilet photo.

Each of the elevator shafts is named after a hero(ine) of aviation. I’m not on there… yet. http://www.joeldown.org/oldjod/624.php/feed 0 http://www.joeldown.org/oldjod/624.php http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/downandout/~3/XMMTSS7xNWE/623.php http://www.joeldown.org/oldjod/623.php#comments Wed, 11 Feb 2009 14:24:50 +0000 Joel http://www.joeldown.org/oldjod/623.php We missed Superbowl Sunday by a week but the dregs remain. Hard to overestimate the importance of this event to Tampa, and the US as a whole. Tens of millions of dollars flood in, even in these recessionary times. http://www.joeldown.org/oldjod/623.php/feed 0 http://www.joeldown.org/oldjod/623.php http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/downandout/~3/on08ySJkpKg/622.php http://www.joeldown.org/oldjod/622.php#comments Tue, 10 Feb 2009 14:23:35 +0000 Joel http://www.joeldown.org/oldjod/622.php It’s a style common to so many hotels, but there is something rather disconcerting spending days in a room that looks inwards rather than outwards. Like staying in a fishbowl.
