One point I suppose is that within 5 years this whole area will be gone as it is about to be redeveloped for the olympic bid. There's a notion that these 'derelict' areas aren't used but in fact they're used by all sorts of people for all sorts of things. This is something I want to explore more. I suppose the nearest I have to a point is something about the way people use the interstices of a city... but it is very early days in this one. Once I discover a theme I will nail it to my head, I promise. - -- Johnny Deadman http://www.pinkheadedbug.com
