Walthamstow (an ode to)

We bought a house in Walthamstow about 4 years ago and its certainly been eventful. We thought we'd write a little song about our experiences here. All the incidents did really happen, plus a few more. Don't get us wrong, we're not hatin' on Walthamstow, just having a laugh. This is a homage to anyone trying to get by in London. Keep yer chin up, just think, you could live in Walthamstow!

Yea..I'm from Walthamstow..(Boundary Rd.) I worked at Keebeech Leasure center on the High street, later at the Pizza hut..Now I'm an Actor in America, still miss Walthamstow...great song. Would love to have a copy to play on my radio show here in L.A. California...Ahh..the Kelmscott Leasure centre..I think the tower flats on Boundary Rd. are gone now. I lived at 271.

The shot with the 'I didn't realise there was no back to this chair before reclining' is probably my favourite, but the dog poo reminds me of my own dear neighbourhood. I'm sorry to be leaving Britain...
