A short guide written for the fine people at Londonist about (some of) the food & drink opportunities in my home town of Croydon. Since I am essentially a roving stomach with a human body attached (semi professional food writer?) and have spent about a quarter of century living around Waddon, Croydon, this was not a difficult task to fulfil.
But it was a fun task and I got to know some of the local food and drink scene a little better. There is a LOT happening in Croydon.
I think/hope that this will be the first of a few food and drink things I write for Londonist!
YANO – Child poverty: unacceptable in the 21st century
A piece I wrote for Yano about UK Child Poverty. Going into this article I had no idea that the situation here was so bad, but it is – and it’s getting worse.
What I like about working with Yano is that it feels like I’m writing about things that are seriously important. I hope to use whatever platforms I have to make people aware of the issue, and help combat it in whatever way that I can.
In this abundant world of excesses and wastage, poverty, wherever it is, is utterly unacceptable.
