#OneConversationAtATime. On the doorstep, if they open the door, they like to come out and vent at me. It’s generally a distrust of all parties and politicians, and anger with a world that’s passed them by.
Whilst we are sorting out how to pioneer a long-term Talking Shop we're gonna take things outdoors. Our tour pack with all the info about how to book us is now available online. Let's get the kettle on! www.omidaze.co.uk/uncategorize...
