In Trafalgar Square to remember last week's atrocities, I hear the words 'Ladies and Gentlemen, Richard and Judy'.
JUDY: Driving through London this afternoon, we couldn't help but be moved by the sheer spirit and stoicism of the people of this great city. Although we only moved here ten years ago, we feel our roots are now inextricably part of this great, great melting pot. London, our London, is the most wonderful, rich...
RICHARD: And poor.
JUDY: And poor. Not forgetting the poor.
RICHARD: Multicultural.
JUDY: Marvellously inclusive and cultural.
RICHARD: Anti racist.
JUDY: And I'd like to read a poem by a famous but little known Irish poet. A poem which sums up exactly what we're all feeling here today.
RICHARD: This is very sad.

Waterstones already have a section devoted to Richard and Judy's book club. What next, Richard and Judy's Poetry For Every Occasion? Personal Section: Births, Weddings, Deaths. National Section: Celebration, Defiance, Mourning. And of course the Love section for soppy twats.
Being too old for London's gigs, pubs and cinemas, what does London mean to me, apart from the daily grind? It would be good to experience the city fresh as a new tourist. But after 23 years of 10 hours a day, 5 days a week? I only do it for the money, honey.
