Our next door neighbours 2 girls of the same age went to Albany Rd school where English by then was fast becoming the second language. I dread to think what it is now The last time I walked down there at night, one summer evening about four years ago, it was full of chavvies, junkies and Asian gangs.

I walked down there about 2 weeks ago and it was fine, some of the new restaurants look nice, and some of the small Asian shops are fantastic
