by John Boorman
John Boorman is one of the few inhabitants of the City of London. Why, he asks, should he be fond of it? It's nothing more than a lot of office blocks. The streets are too narrow. It's drab and it's grey. It's a hotchpotch of silly customs and then you have to listen to people talking about the City's sacred and glorious past.
