Lightbulb Piccadilly Gardens

Having sat there last week on the bench opposite Primark it was with some heavy heart as I worked at Polly of Piccadilly and regularly saw Jimmy Saville pass in his Roller and we had the fine model parties at the Plaza and the gown store. But time moves on and as did not happen then the class divide in young and old is removed. I sat on a stone bench and there was the street artists as in Las Vegas doing a show. There the music like the pied piper made those flock and engage in social discourse and engage in groups. There was no age, disability or difference in ethic, disabled, enabled and young and old, or who was a class difference.
To me it was a change for the better even though it is devoid of colour, a fact that is lacking but obviously because of theft of colour objects. I would like to see a mosaic here in majolica to illustrate the diversity and integration as a social stage during the day. It was an honour to come back and come back I will like the others as anonymous identities sharing a chat as the old lady with the Sicilian former husband shared with me in her 80th year on that bench. It is here I spotted the faces of two missing girls published locally. I hope they are home now, safe and sound and thank you to Abode for letting me be safe and use your phone. There is unity and change and it is for the better in my view.
