Where is CHRAG when you need them to pop up. Or are they on permanent holiday. I say that as a quick look their website and facebook seems as if they are on permanent holiday. Certainly not much activity except a few reports. As a Japanese tourist on my way back to the Airport on a coach we are told that we are taking another route due to Roadworks and closed bridges which are making our time of arrival tight. We enter somewhere called Chiswick,nothing special catches my eye on looking out the window except somewhere called Metro Bank which made me think i was was back home in Tokyo already. But then my eyes lit up seeing a place called the Packhorse and and Talbot and all cameras were clicking away like mad and i got a whole new impression of what we were entering and what was to come. Sadly it vanished within seconds but did came back a little after passing some very bland grey brick building called a Police Station. But then we hit another one of those Foxton places. Got the impression i've seen more blooming Foxtons than traffic lights on this trip back to the airport. we did pass a lovely green with a church in the middle with a lovely tall spiral. There was some man who seem to be shouting and waving arms aloft at another person who had a megaphone in hand,i had finally got to see my English Victor Meldrew moment and then it was all lost again and we were back on a motorway. The Packhorse and Talbot has its own character and that should not be lost. Certainly not for a block of flats directly on CHR |
