Breakfast at Pellicci

 

Had yet another great breakfast recently at E Pellicci in Bethnal Green with Monty Matty (former Tower Hamlets UNISON caretaker steward).

Believe it or not, since I am cutting down on carbs, and swopped the toast and hash browns for extra Sausage and bacon - this is diet food! (somewhat). 

There was some American tourists next to us who had been recommended to eat here by their taxi driver. They were talking to a young local man who was a boxer with 7 straight victories and had recently been training in Vegas.

Old ladies tell off kids playing in London council estate 1970s

An age old problem. It hadn't changed that much when I first started working in Council Housing in the early 1990s in Bethnal Green and still goes on in Newham and elsewhere today.

Tower Hamlets School Strike

Picture is from the Strike yesterday against the Tory-led government cuts by NUT and UNISON members in Tower Hamlets schools. 

I went to the picket line at Albert Jacob House in Bethnal Green and met up with these strikers on route to their rally in Whitechapel.

I understand that UNISON deputy General Secretary Keith Sonnat spoke at the rally (I had a clash so couldn't make) which was well attended.
