So there I was, walking home last Friday. And I saw the photo pictured to, hopefully, the left of this text. I found this funny, why? I love these things. I love them because every time I am quite drunk round town. I look for the darkest alley I can find, and usually find one of these bad boys. It makes me feel good that I don’t have to sully someone’s doorstep, and now it isn’t even an option to try and find somewhere else.
The reason i found this funny was because while Westminster do it well (alleys) Hackney council don’t do it well at all. First, note the chain on the smallest branch of the tree. Now some drunken nutters will be tempted to tip the thing. But best of all is its location, on Old street. The centre of it all. Right in the middle of everything. Now, there are tons of alleys and small areas (only last week I heard a man loudly vomitting outside my flat, he really went for it), so why not put it there? Not sure. Keep on the Hackney, keep on.
