If you're in a large arcade then it doesn't matter what it is like outside. Those coin pushers are so fun, you can get £5 of 2p coins and it would take an hour to lose all 250 of them; some of the coins will drop back out so it is more than 300 drops. I like the ones that give you tickets when the coins drop out. There is a technique to it, skill is involved; you have to get the timing just right and get enough of them to make a wedge to push the coins in front.
I am Alan Booth, an ordinary British Man . I'm not one of the famous people that have the same name as me, just an ordinary guy. Welcome to my main blog, a true reliable record of history from the perspective of an ordinary man, a place filled with my thoughts; perhaps my thoughts will persist longer on here than in my brain itself. My twitter I.D. is @alspresso.

Overcast again
Here in Britain it is overcast with clouds again. You get a few days of sunshine then a cloudy day. As far back as I can remember it was always like that. Every sunny day we get is precious, but there is no breeze on a sunny day so it feels very very hot. It's a good time to get lost in a book when it is cloudy. There are lots of interesting books out there.
