Old Hatfield
I got home from work earlier than previous nights and there was still daylight, so I set off on a walk. I know I crap on about the cold a lot, but despite being roughly the same temperature as it is at night, because the sun was shining I didnt feel as cold, which makes me wonder how much of temperature sensitivity feeling thingy is mental?
I walked into the old area of Hatfield, constructed before the white folks came in and re built it...there wasnt much to see.
Heres the view from one of my stops today, its nothing special but very English with green rolling hills, and a Burger King just out of frame.

Fosters was actually the most expensive beer advertised on the pub window in dayglo yellow stickers.
This is the actual main street in Hatfield, its devoid of anything now apart from banks and penny stores and visa services for indian people. This is of course because the Galleria has taken over, which is actually on the edge of town.
Apperntly this is the global headquarters of T-Mobile, one of the worlds biggest cell phone networks. I dont even know that they are a big player in the UK, I thought they were bigger in the USA, but ive been assured by a number of people that all their top management in the world works in Hatfield.
