Or alternatively as if they are in the dodgier estates of Bracknell !


Or alternatively as if they are in central London, such as Piccadilly,
Strand, Poultry, Kingsway, Queensway, Holborn, Cheapside, Cornhill,
Houndsditch, Millbank.


I blame Boris! Only a city in which he's Mayor could have silly names like
that.
