That's the thing, most of the Knees Up Mother Brown, Doin' the Lambeth Walk, type of Londoners, are very friendly, and have a great sense of humour. It's the transient ones who are dour.
At work I had an eighty four year old cleaner called Mae West, and not taller than four foot ten in her stocking feet. She was an absolute gem, and we became good mates, plus she was always bringing me in tinned meat she was given by Southwark Council, which she thought tasted funny.
She's ninety three now, and has eventually retired, though she still shops for the 'old folk' in her neighbourhood, and goes out to the pub every Friday night...with her older sisters!
