During a very boring commute recently, I put this playlist together. Just two rules: 1. The song must start with a drum before anything else 2. Only one song per artist Enjoy! 🥁 open.spotify.com/playlist/0ML...

Incredibly sad news, I used to work in an office next to Smithfield after I left university. There's no other place like it, unique characters and culture. London's last medeival market gone, 850 years of history wiped out. www.ft.com/content/b879...

Plans to move trading halls to a new, modern facility in Dagenham were shelved earlier this month

Hello guys I thought I'd share what I've been up to for the last few years not being on twitter, basically I was unemployed for ages bc we're secretly in a recession that no one wants to openly acknowledge, then I became a personal trainer for a year, now I'm a national correspondent at Joe media
