Been in London from di forties, seen it all. Mi see chair come, chair go. Back then, South London rough, cold, but it scratch, it creak, but it solid. Young ones buy, throw away fast. Wander Spitalfields, sofa carry story deep. Not pretty-pretty, but dem live long. Back in de day, Armchair pass from father to son. Every spring hold laugh and cry. Man look pon we like crazy, but It last twenty year. Dat sofa still in mi memory.

London borough different style. Kensington love velvet, wid velvet accent chair. Camden clash colour, wid funky old frame. Dem soulless ting? Dat nuh worth nutten. Vintage chair grow wid you. Truth be told, mi pick funky armchair over soulless sofa. When you pass market, carry home accent chair dat live, and luxury sofas see it carry laugh and cry.
