Been in London from di forties, seen it all. When it come to seat, mi know what last. We only could afford old sofa, but seat crack but it never mash up. Young ones buy, throw away fast. Go down to Camden, you see retro sofa pile high. Not factory shine, but dem true. When London swing 1960s, Armchair pass from father to son. Every scratch talk story. Mi remember one winter 1971, but dat sofa with accent chair warm half community. Mi can hear di spring creak when man drop heavy.

Furniture change wid di street. Belgravia love polish, wid velvet accent chair. Camden clash colour, wid sofa in bright clash. All dem catalogue chair? Dem carry no story. Old funky accent seat carry life. Listen dis, mi always choose retro over new. When you pass market, take armchair wid scar, and watch it age same way as you.
