Yebbut what you are saying is nothing new, only the location and ethnicity of the crims has changed. Not so many years ago it was nigh on impossible to point to someone in any street in Chigwell who did not have connections with an "East London Firm." Time moves on and they all retire from blagging Armoured Vans to drinking Sangria in Spain and leave their kids to run the scrap yards, parking lots, used car dealerships, clubs, pubs, betting shops, brothels and "personal insurance schemes" bought with their undeclared cash income. With them retired and the kids now respectable the per capita income of yer average Chigwell resident falls while in the ghettos the hard men drawn from the latest waves of immigrants set themselves up to service the newly emerging needs of their own communities. In many respects it mirrors very accurately what is happening in the economy as whole. The old school entrepreneurs are finding life increasingly harder as they desperately try to cling to their older ways of doing stuff and are eventually moved on and/or go bust to be replaced by an influx of new and enthusiastic individuals who are much more in touch with the needs of their customers. Give it 20 years and Enfield, like the Chigwell of old, will just be a place where They used to live and some other area will become the new centre for the cash only model of business efficiency. -- steve auvache VN750 Third gear has scope.
