Greenwich is one of the coolest "uncool" places there is in London. It's not profoundly unfashionable - rather somewhere where it doesn't occur to people that there is anything more than a few museums, a nice park and the Cutty Sark. The really adventurous might know about the Trafalgar Tavern or venture out to Greenwich market on a Sunday afternoon, but essentially, Greenwich is still relatively undiscovered for one of the great regions of London. I adore Greenwich - but I'm not blind to its faults either. In this journal I take an affectionate but honest - at times brutally so - look, giving my own personal low-down on the things to do - and one or two of the things NOT to do in Greenwich. I am being unashamedly parochial here. I will talk about the tourist sites, of course - how could I not when we have a World Heritage Site on our doorstep - but also about the things which make our town great - the little things. Interesting vistas, cool shops, bizarre novelties and quirky one-offs which make this place buzz. Greetings, by the way, to all of you who have travelled with me from Livejournal - and thank you for making the journey.

Swine flu or wine flu?
Look after yourself, and gently does it - take your time to feel really better.
Bah? Shouldn't that be "Oink"?
Get well soon!
The bearded brewer's patent cold remedy - dark rum and Crabbies Ginger Wine, 50-50, large tumbler of. Repeat as often as neccessary.
Warms you up nicely, eases the aches and helps you sleep.
Hope you feel better soon
all the best Phantom, hope you recover soon. Had a similar bug recently and took about 48 hours to clear.
I told you you'd be over doing it. Go straight to bed and I'll bring you some chicken soup!! Is that what a mother is for!!
A hot toddy is The Bad Witch's favourite potion for a cold. It might not cure the cold, but you don't care so much :)
hope you get better soon. A hot curry with extra chillies and ginger is good at clearing out the system - maybe the chance to test a few more takeaways? Though you might have to depart from the Phantom Control Meal to really beat the bugs...
I'm with Kirsty. Chicken Phal washed down with eight cans of Red Stripe should sort you out.
I'm not gonna say "Oink"!
Well I did..... so Get well soon.
Get well soon Phantom- we are all your 'flu friends' in spirit.
Sorry to hear you're unwell, though you have been looking a little pale lately.
Hope you don't need one of those emergency stretchers that you just pointed out to us - still, at least we know where they are :-)
Swift recovery.
It must be bad if you have not posted for thre days.
I miss your daily musings. Get well soon
Well, we're all getting a bit concerned now Phantom...
Hope you're recovering and will be back soon...
Still nothing..?
Must be bad GP!? I'm really missing your updates, so hope you're better soon. I'll check on you tomorrow via the interweb, from (gasps), west London, when at work tomorrow. Chin up!
(wanders off to bed, already imagining the Monday morning Jubilee Line delays. Zzzzz!)
J.
In the nicest possible way ... don't hurry back! You provide such an enjoyable site for us for nada and so we don't want you to run yourself down in the process!!
Hear,hear, Latelygay! Take your own spiritous time, Phantom, and don't forget that feeling excessively glum is a known after-effect of any flu-like illness, never mind the oinky one.
