But perhaps most importantly, I learnt that he’s a fan of this very publication. Remarking that I lived locally, he said simply, “Do you write for the Kentishtowner? You should.”
When I asked if he was a fan, he said a definitive “yes.” So look, here I am.
“It’s a really lovely neighbourhood full of interesting and smart people who do a whole host of different jobs,” he said.
Couldn’t put it better myself.
