I was walking alongside the canal today, when I found myself following Camden's equivalent of The Wire's Bubs & Johnny, pushing their supermarket trolley along the towpath and riffing with each other, with the tall rangy one pushing the cart as the wee Glaswegian ginger feller dodged and weaved as he recounted some anecdote that, judging from the motions conveyed, involved kicking someone in the head.
As I reached earshot, I overheard the 'wegian retort:
"They'll say yes, or they'll say no. It's St Mungo's, in'it, you just don't
know!"
That, my friends, is the poetry of the pavement.
