Ugh
Didn't even have the imagination to invert it to show a smiley face.
Vendor is in London; go and remonstrate with him.
You can tell someone is a country bumpkin when they think that two people both being in London means that they must be 'close' to each other.
To travel from Coppermill Lane in the
London Borough of Hillingdon, to Biggin Hill Airport in the
London Borough of Bromley is a journey of 35 miles and is a 12 1/2 hour walk or a 2 1/2 hour drive.
Just because I can say "
Watch it mate, I know where you live. " to BD139 doesn't make it an effective threat. Once I'd either walked the 17 mile shortest route between us for 6 1/4 hours, or driven the fastest 28 mile route for 1 1/2 hours, or endured the 1 1/2 hours, inevitable delays, missed connections, and four changes of public transport, I'd be too exhausted to do more than quietly wheeze "
Boo!".
On the other hand, the radial nature of London means that if I said to BD "
Meet you at the Hole In The Wall in Waterloo for a beer in an hour." we could probably both make it without breaking a sweat. But it requires active cooperation for this to work. So getting the miscreant behind 'the lamp' into the right place for a good kicking would require tempting them with some world class subterfuge; perhaps an invitation to meet a designer who's so hip that
nobody has ever heard of him at the rear entrance of the Groucho Club ("
He thinks going in the front way is so gauche, don't you agree.") or some pub "
Just off Columbia Road, Hoxton's so 2020 isn't it?" might be adequate.
