Do you ever venture around the local trading estates..and observe the different type of factory buildings and offices..the pallets stacked outside the warehouse doors..and then the names plates of well known Companies? Fortunately my work over the last 30 years has taken me around lots of these places..and my favourite was going to Macfarlane Lang in Osterley to deliver packaging materials..and then having the opportunity of going into the staff shop to buy up half the semi reject cheesecakes on display..which I dished out at the next firm I visited!!or to my helpers. Maybe you like industrial estates too..you can learn what's going on. As you cross Gillette Corner going towards London on the Great West Road, you leave Isleworth TW7 and enter Brentford TW8. There is no friendly WELCOME TO BRENTFORD sign. Why not I wonder. It's been mentioned before on the Forum. Anyway let's proceed. First left after Gillettes ..or old Gillettes..and you enter Harlequin Avenue...no houses or flats (yet!!) an estate dominated by Gillettes and ..increasingly SKY TV. Let's have a look around. Do you work in Harlequin Avenue by the way? |
