Had a job in Shoreditch at the Baptist Tabernacle there - taking out 1960s pews of a style that we describe as ‘Antiques of Tommorow’. I.e: Nobody wants them now. The good bit was working in Shoreditch, I’d forgotton what an interesting part of London it was. Charles Dickens meets 21st Century Super Yuppies. We had 24/7 security at our little church to try and stop people nicking lead of the roof and yet only a stone throw away were the steel and glass canyons of the City of London. Next door to us was St Leonards, perhaps better known as St Saviours in the TV show ‘Rev’. This is me trying to look like Tom Hollander having yet another crisis of faith - he could have forgotten his troubles at Kebab Zero opposite. There I had a fantastic Shish for lunch, lots of garlic sauce and chilli. Heavenly, to coin a phrase.
