 | Some things to remember about Loughborough:
1) A medium-sized town between Leicester and Nottingham, population about 60,000.
2) Main export is unemployment. When I was younger, arrivals at the station were greeted by a mighty sign saying "Welcome to Loughborough, Home of Ladybird Books", with matching pseudoscarab. Ladybird Books having long since flown away home, this journey found me beneath an adumbration of the local steam locomotive line.
3) Who needs steam locomotives? Suddenly, London to Loughborough takes three hours. I thankyew.
4) Loughborough has one building of any real height, the Univerity Housing Block. Fine views and clear weather makes this an ideal point for potential suicides to meet and greet.
5) Loughborough will one day be a landfill site for my lovingly-preserved minor tokens of human interaction. Some would argue that it already is. The amount of crap to be waded through!
Broken tapes, broken hearts, programmes and map, notes on doors and fatal flaws, diary entries and dire rentries. All very unfortunate.
Still, over now. Other now. Lover now. Hmmmm.
