Oh what a lovely war..
For all those who live in the deep, murky depths of Hertfordshire, I offer this message.
“Bye.”
Never having been a fan of the area, now in the south of the UK, I highly recommend that Hertfordshire in general be avoided. The place is a shining beacon of everything that is wrong with this country (the biggest beacon that isn’t London, I might add). Overpopulation, poor local councils, police who seem to spend more time pulling up useless drivers in black Rover Metros for clipping kerbs instead of catching thieves, muggers, arsonists and murderers, and the populace in general. Such joys to be had. All outside the M25.
Call me a cynic (one because its true, two because I like it) but I just have nothing good to say about Herts. It’s a hole. A dive. It’s any other orificial word you can come up with. Glad to be shot of it.
Aaaaanyway. For those who like the city life, Southampton isn’t bad. Granted its no paradise – Especially between the hour of 5pm and 11am – but it does us students down to the ground. At least there’s more to do here than somewhere like Stevenage – in Southampton you don’t risk stepping on some 12 year old with her baby every time you walk down the street. It seems down here the public have more of an understanding of the term “underage”. That and the peeps down here are more pleasant. They say hello!! Even the poor homeless guys say “thanks very much” – Who’d have thought?!
So, now the writer is down south, what does the writer do? Writer writes. Writer frequents Subway. Writer meets other writers and sits down in pubs discussing “problem of the month”, if I remember rightly (or should that now be “writely”). Writer simply does.
Now, Writer is done for the hour. Writer must now venture out into the land, come back with soon-to-be-burnt offerings from Iceland, and ensure that, like the deep depths of Hertfordshite, the past remains adamantly so.
