POUNDING THE PAVEMENT FOR CHOICE UNLIMITED

Out in the West End today, distributing fliers and posters for REDP's forthcoming Choice Unlimited event. I lived in this part of town for four years (2006-10) and it strikes me as probably being the best area of the city for getting our colourful publicity material in front of people. I'm glad to say that most of those who accept a poster for their shop window actually put it up. The chap in Tin Drum Books (photo above) asks for additional copies, as he's the curator of the Bede Park community noticeboard. The owner of the shop below handed me a roll of sellotape and asked me to stick up the poster where I thought it would look best. I like those kinds of responses!

I found £20 on the pavement in Narborough Road earlier this week. I spent it treating myself and a friend to a meal in a restaurant. Next day, in the same road, I lost a leather slip case for my iPhone that had cost me £20. Thanks to Gursharan thanis who, when I told her this story, said that there's room in the blog for this sort of thing!
