On the 29

- are you all right back there guys?
- no problem pops, good idea taking the bus
- you can see so much from up here
- I gotta say it and I will say it, the weather's so mild
- very mild mom, for the time of year
- oh stop it
- a pretty nice day for Christmas Eve honey

- look at that old engraving, it says Female Orphanage
they're noticing things better than me

- what a mess this is along here
I couldn't agree more, but we haven't got time to go into the
tortured history of the HS2 railway project and
its endless scarring of the landscape

- wow what's that beautiful building?
I wanted to tell them it was the art deco Carreras Cigarette Factory,
a striking example of early 20th Century Egyptian Revival architecture
with its two gigantic effigies of black cats flanking the entrance.
I did some work there a long, long time ago

- was the Freud House around here honey?
- no, that was around the back streets, hard to find
- and the Dickens house
- guys you've seen them all
I haven't even seen them and I've been here 30 years

now it's all about Aunt June
- you know she's only 76
- yeah but acts like she's 90, so cranky!
- she does have such smooth skin though
- she's always eaten a lotta fish
- they say 70's the new 50 dad
- well what does that make me, I'm 71!
- yeah but you act younger, like maybe 70
- oh funny, we got a funny guy back there

please don't get off at Camden Town
- ok guys, we gotta get off here
- hold on pops
- yeah yeah I'll race you

    take me with you guys
    take me away for Christmas
