    i started getting sprawling-suburb-induced agoraphobia if i found myself alone in the house at 3.00 in the afternoon and realised i needed to move to a big city or i'd go mentalist.

    i'd been to london on holiday and the memory that stood out was that you could walk down the high street wearing nothing but a bin bag and wellies and no-one would look twice, whereas in perth at the time it was socially illegal to wear anything but jeans and a blue "faux-denim" cotton shirt. i also have a highly developed phobia of shopping centres due to many years spent making coffees for pensioners and dishing out lo-fat soft-serve to bogans.

    that's honestly why i came to london.
