We start in Old Compton Street, London. This is my friend Peter, just back from an important meeting in Ibiza. We are having lunch in Balans restaurant.
ART is our goal.
To be perfectly frank, I prefer the 1999 style of combats. Living in provincial Oxford, it is hard to maintain myself in the style to which the London scene is accustomed. However I am pleased to find Pete is in agreement with me in deprecating the current American college student fashion for gigantic shorts like flapping windsocks. Then we walk eastwards across Covent Garden. Peter shows me the eclectic decor and the proprietor offers us a glass of wine on the house.
