yeah, we wanted to buy in Fulham but it’s got too expensive and after looking in Shepherds Bush, Action W4 & W5, we decided to the Bush really because it’s a little more central. A wise move :? I’ve always thought Acton a bit of a dump but recently discovered some nice parts. 'Poets Corner'? is that...

Re: Grafitti

...... the problem with grafitti seems to be getting worse. Is it tolerated in Portugal.......... I would say yes. The Portuguese have a different attitude toward graffiti.
