TURN OFF, TUNE OUT, DROP IN.

Two letters arrived from the council this morning. First to inform that Council Tax is going up to £3.7K pa. Second, that bin collection frequency is going down to once every 3 weeks. Highly emblematic of the UK's decline in services and increase in taxes.

London day with the family today. Surprised to see no major chaos or criminal behaviour in the slightest. Luxury areas like Mayfair and Covent Garden were buzzing with high consumption.
