“Does anybody use this place?” J- enquired.
“Yeah, all the time”.
“But the barbeque is so clean”
“I’m the cleaner” he replied and set to with a cloth, removing traces of dust that were drifting in from a nearby construction site.
“The last three weeks it’s been quiet” he continued, “before that it was very bad.
Lot’s of people break bottles. Break the doors. They come for 3 weeks.
The security guys they are just sleeping.
If they catch them they get 1 month jail.”
“Do you like this place?” she asked.
“I’ts very expensive here, one lady she tell me it cost $4-500,000 for one apartment.
I don’t live here though, my home is in Reservoir. I just catch the train. It stop just over there.”

i have a friend who took me to this very bbq. we all were in amazement as to how clean it was, and all pondered, whether it had even been used before. was it that those in docklands now don’t bbq? we gave it a good work out! no broken bottles though…..
yes, it’s so clean you could eat your dinner on it!
