London Day Three..

Much calmer day, pottering around the house, watching a whole bunch of tennis. Very excited about Laura Robson, just seems to have good mental attitude!

Hung out in the garden in the evening, with guests from NZ and people from London. This provides day 3's picture.. The result of my (lost) altercation with the garden gate!

"Only 4 per cent of those of working age living in social housing have degrees, and nearly half have no or only low qualifications. Only half of men and 42 per cent of women of working age living in social housing are in paid work, compared with 89 per cent of men and 81 per cent of women in households with a mortgage." Social housing: by its nature, is grouped (london people ignore this, you are the freaks not the norm). That means that we have allowed ghettoes of poverty and low attainment (not just in a SATS way either). Now it would be easy, and some daft Tory has already done it, to pin this on
