Indeed - we are in one of the townhouses that curve round from the bridge to woodlands road (office is on top floor) so looks out over charing X. One of our customers has offices in there, mortgage brokers I think.

Remember not to go too mental. Spading a freshly run-in car has to go down as one of the all time sick feelings.....
