`'d go to Oxford Street if I were you. `
On a Saturday!! Wild horse, rather stick needles in my eyes etc. Frankly, Brent Cross isn`t much better, but at least one can press up against the store fronts to avoid the people!
There was a film called Oxford Street made by Malcolm McLaren, Helen Mininberg and Patrick Casey in 1970, which apparently portrays an extremely bleak picture of this dehumanising environment. Haven't seen it, but there's a bit about it in Jon Savage - England's Dreaming: Sex Pistols and Punk Rock (London: Faber and Faber, 1991), pp. 40-42. McLaren made a later film for Channel 4, called The Ghosts of Oxford Street, in 1989, but I haven't seen that either. Hell is a place called Oxford Street, though. |

`Try Camden Market instead.`
Camden??!! Saturday??!! But I want PJs, not crystals. Maybe I should go to Camden, buy an antique sewing machine(why did I ever get rid of them?) and make my own PJs? Except I was virtually thrown out of the sewing class by Sister Marina because I committed the Cardinal sin of breaking a machine needle. Honest! My needlework, such as it was, died a quiet and unobserved death.

I'm sure you can find some truly stunning PJs in Camden. |

`Hell is a place called Oxford Street, though.`
I`d agree with you there, Ian. I go out of my to avoid it.
Those references you posted sound interesting. I will try and follow them up. There is a vast and, mainly, unknown history behind the Oxford St we see.
On a farily irrelevant note, I once had a Saturday job there, in a place that was trying to be Kensington market. but was just bllleetch! Awful clothes, terrible tat and horrible people.. Not just the customers.

Yup, that`s in Brent Cross too.
I remember, years ago, when Brent Cross opened it was called the West End of North London (or something like that), because it`s got some major

 (from a different album): It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here And I'm much obliged to you for making it clear That I'm not here. And I never knew the moon could be so big And I never knew the moon could be so blue And I'm grateful that you threw away my old shoes And brought me here instead dressed in red And I'm wondering who could be writing this song. I don't care if the sun don't shine And I don't care if nothing is mine And I don't care if I'm nervous with you I'll do my loving in the winter. And the sea isn't green And I love the queen And what exactly is a dream And what exactly is a joke. |
