He had to, otherwise I would not be here to amuse you all. Sadly, he died after a sudden stroke when I was 9, but my mother lived until she was 98. Another unusual statistic is that I am replying to you from the house where my father was born. It is quite unusual for a family in London to own a house for 133 years. Some of them seem to change hands after 133 days and the rented ones 133 hours. However at least 4 of our neighbors were living here when I was born.
The trains which started in 1833 still run between pier and the marina today. The carriages are original, but they now use the Siemens drive system. I only know all this, because I have been chatting on the phone to their operations manager for the last hour. I am not quite sure who told who the most about the railway. He had all the facts and pictures and I explained to him how they all work.
If you don't want to be filmed in London, you need to keep the curtains closed and never even go outside the front door.
