London Road Page #7

- Whatever they are

- I've got nearly 17 hanging baskets

...basil on the windowsill, didn't she?

I just call 'em lilies

They're a lily type

- Impatiens and things

- Hanging baskets

Begonias and petunias

And, erm, impatiens and things

Begonias and petunias

And, erm, impatiens and things

I've got nearly 17 hanging baskets

In this back garden

Believe it or not

Begonias and petunias

And, erm, impatiens and things

It's a terrible shame. It's...

I mean, we're reaping the benefits of

what's happened, really, which is, er...

There's always a silver lining.

Look, we turned this around, like,

and this is, this is what is possible.

I would like in maybe two or three years,

it's gonna take time, I know,

cos of all red tape and what have you

and town hall, you know, Munchkins...

...is for the world's press

to come back in three years' time and say,

"This was then. This is now. "

I don't think anybody

really thought that they were bad girls.

You know, I mean, they were in a way,

but they weren't hurting anybody else,

were they?

That was only their selves

they were to hurting, weren't it?

I think we've been scarred.

Forever.

Women will never trust men again

and men will always... wonder

what women are thinking.

You know, people

have been... yeah, affected by this

and... I guess they always will.

I've almost got this mental picture

of when those girls got up to heaven.

That Saint Peter said, "Come in,"

and they, and they said something like...

..."Do you mean it's over?

Do you mean it's finished?

"Do you mean, erm,

they can't hurt me anymore?"

I can imagine for, erm,

people that lived outside the area

where the prostitutes

hadn't affected anyone,

you would get a different opinion.

You'd get people feeling sorry for them

and so forth... you know.

I feel sorry for the families,

but not them.

You know?

It was just a pain in the arse.

They were a complete pain in the neck.

You know, they're...

They're better off... 10ft under.

That's a horrible thing to say, isn't it?

But what's happened has happened.

But I'm not... I'm not sad.

You know?

I'd still shake his hand.

I'd love to just shake his hand and say,

"Thank you for getting rid of them. "

I mean, I would, you know,

if you had the, at the end of the day,

if you had the courage to do it,

then... erm...

I'd shake their hand if I had the courage,

but I would... I wouldn't do it, but...

I can have that thought in my... my head

to say, "Yeah, thank you very much. "

Oh, God!

Wow!

Oh, wow! It's just...

Oh, wow! I think they peaked today.

Well, probably about, like, Wednesday.

Don't you think, Julie?

People have put

hanging baskets out this year

that have never done hanging baskets

or pots before in their lives.

But they made a real effort

for London Road In Bloom.

Oh, God! Wow!

I don't know a weed from a plant, I don't!

But I did do a... a pot.

Yes, we got June's pot.

These are double petunias.

- I love these. Look!

- Yeah.

Fantastic! Oh, the gardener's wife!

- Animals on the windowsill.

- Where?

Oh, this is great!

It's so...

It's nautical, religious, floral.

- All of human life is here!

- Yeah.

Oh, look! Fabulous! It's just...

Look! Gnomes!

I gotta say,

it's Jesus that does it for me here.

It's a bit of Lourdes in London Road.

Yeah, there's gardens galore.

Very pleased with it.

Come on and give me a one

And a two

I've been waiting all night

To dance with you...

Come on! Woo!

Just help yourself to everything.

Hi again. I know you. You all right?

- Nice to see you, Julie. You all right?

- Yes, thank you. I recognise you.

You're the one!

Come on and give me a one

And a two

I've been waiting all night

To dance with you

I would like to introduce you to Julie

who has worked non-stop

to organise this event.

- Here's Julie to give out some prizes.

- Carole's doing the announcing.

And Carole's going to do some...

Carole!

I'd like to introduce you to Carole

as well then in that case.

Carole is one

of our local neighbourhood councillors

and she was one of the judges today

in the competition and...

Well, I've lost the plot

of who's gonna speak now,

so I'll get out the way

and leave you to these two.

Erm... hi, everybody.

This is the really wonderful

inaugural party in London Road.

After, er, judging the best gardens

and it really, really was difficult

choosing winners.

And Julie must just be

The hanging basket queen of London Road

Anyway, it was a real pleasure today

Really good fun

And so many people

Have made such a great effort

To make London Road look beauteous

We're going to do the best front garden

And we pick as the runner-up

As the winner, this garden

Where it was very difficult

It was a real challenge

To make this front garden beautiful

Because basically it's all parking

Er, it looks absolutely lovely

And once you look round the cars

Fantastic

Terry and June

Come to the front, come to the front

- Well done, Tel

The absolute winner

With the very best garden I do believe

And it is

Dodge, yes, it's Dodge

Oh, well done

Look at me, please

I think this is absolutely fantastic

So many people here tonight

I haven't counted you all

Seeing everybody have a great time

That's what it's all about

That's what it's all about

I would like to congratulate

Everyone that's really worked hard

On the gardens

Even the people that haven't won

It doesn't matter, it's...

It doesn't matter

It's sharing their gardens

With everyone else

It's sharing their gardens

With everyone else

And really working hard

And making London Road

What London Road is

A fantastic road

Look at me, please

Look at me, please

- A fantastic road

- Look at me, please

Everyone, smile...

- You all right?

I'd just like to point out as well

It does seem that God

Is smiling on London Road

Cos if you'd you seen

The weather forecast for today

Well, look at it now

Well, look at it now

Well, look at it now

Well, look at it now

Well, look at it now

And if I ask something

that you don't wanna ans...

then that's fine, just tell me to...

Christina said you'll tell me

to shut up anyway.

So, erm, I know, erm, what you're all,

you know, involved in work-wise.

Used to be.

We've all stopped.

- We've all stopped working now.

- OK.

Because of the murders

we've all stopped.

That's why we all stopped.

I stopped like a month before the murders.

We've got regulars

that phone and we see, you know.

Won't work the street,

but we've got a few regulars.
