I would walk five hundred miles.......

Today (and for part of tomorrow) I'm pounding the streets around Tower Hammlet and Bow.... the constituency of a certain George Galloway MP.... I had taken less than five steps from the station exit before someone was offering me drugs.... I would hate to suggest that maybe if he was spending less time on programmes like Celeb Big Brother dressed in lycra and a bit more time there.... and I was only about fifty meters from the council offices as well.
And if you're wondering what I am doing there, I am annotating a series of surveys for the Cross London Rail Link. Or, in other words, writting down all the different types of fences/walls/manhole covers..... it's not so bad as the weather is nice..... just walking around, listening to my MP3 player.
The area encircled is where I'm walking. The area in the middle in the triangle made by the railways lines is apparently very dodgy and I'm not supposed to go there. I found this out after I'd done it..... oh well..
