I could be dreaming...

Bowlers and so on
I do so enjoy having an hour’s lunch break, a luxury, I know. Especially with the addition of fifteen or so minutes extra which will hardly be missed during recess.
This gives me ample time to walk off some of the slightly subsidised lunches I consume and adventure through the streets of Lambeth, Pimlico, Westminster and Victoria.
Today is the second time in a week I have seen a gentleman attired in smart suit complete with bowler. Such a hat has been absent for years, decades even, from the city and it is a pleasure to see its return. Is this the start of a trend? Well, I will hedge my bets until such a time I see a third hat on a third gentleman.
Another pleasure was perusing through a box of old and tattered LPs accompanied by the wise aroma of pipe smoke from a fellow bargain seeker. I never took to my pipe but I am still young enough to dream that such a noble future awaits.
Other common flights of fancy which haunt my thoughts on an afternoons stroll involve buying a small mews house, or even decent sized flat around SW1. Pure fantasy of course as I can not afford the deposit on a small garage, neither do I play the lottery, and so it is unlikely that I will find myself living it such an esteemed neighbourhood.
My meander led me further a field than usual, to Eccleston Square and passed a small hotel whose advertising board promised; ‘hot and cold running water, English breakfast and colour television’. Despite the credit crunch, standards are improving.
