Just wondering!

SteveD CB500K0:
Summer of 78.
Central London.
I worked exclusively for a publisher in Little Essex St. (Angling Times and Nursing Times are the ones I remember best).

I took the pasted up copy to the typesetter in Bedford. Twice a day.

Yes, worked for Federal Express (Fedex) based in Swiss Cottage London during the winter of 1989, froze my nuts off. I was out of work at the time, adverts in the Motor Cycle News promised wages of £500 a week so off i went, my next door neighbour was demolishing Croydon power station and offered me free digs on site. So i stayed in Croydon during the week and rode 200 miles home for the weekend on my CBR600. £500 a week back then was a fabulous wage but to earn that you had to know the area like a London cabbie, so me having to thumb my way through the London A to Z on every call i wasn't getting much over £100, on top of that i had to contend with lunatic 4 wheel drivers trying to wipe me out on every junction. So after a few months i decided enough was enough and said goodbye to the Smoke.
