Here’s something you might not know. Al Capone was the first
man to put use-by dates on food. Kid you
not. The gangster donated a lot of dosh so that kids could have free milk in
schools. On condition that a use by date was stamped on. Because he had been
served sour milk as a kid. Bet you didn’t know that.
Rubbing shoulders with the well to do today. Go on ask me
why?
Why.
Chap next to me on the train was bringing his polo mallet
and fancy boots to work, obviously for a quick chukka before heading home. Not
sure where at Canary Wharf he was hoping to play though.
Did you know that one end of the mallet is flat and the
other sloping. I didn’t, but The Man did.
Isn’t it funny that when we were at school we all, well
mostly all, objected to wearing a uniform. And what do we do now as grownups.
You got it we all conform to the uniform dress code. On the Wharf it is dark
suits, for both sexes. Then there are the kids, well their uniform is jeans and
a hoodie. And who says we are non-conformist.
The Man has just called me over to the window. What to see?
Down on the lawn behind our building was a fox. Haven’t seen one for ages. This
one looked very thin and tatty. Last summer
we saw a group of four that regularly played on the lawn. The Man thinks it may
be because people are discouraged to feed them as they can be a nuisance. They
tear open rubbish bags and scatter litter all over the place.
