London, d.28.decemer
Kære Mary
Det var vel nok skuffende at besøge London igen efter så mange år. Jeg er sikker på, at London konkurrer med Rom om at være Europas kedeligste hovedstad. Man kan undre sig over, at det er kommet så vidt når man ved, at London var verdens centrum i de svingende 60’ere – tænk på Carnaby Street og the Rolling Stones. Der er ingen tvivl om at den berømte engelske søndag der er kedsommeligheden selv har bredt sig til ugens øvrige dage. Nu siger man, at det er søndag hver dag i London.
Jeg er skuffet over, at det ikke længere er muligt at få en god kop te eller et ordentligt måltid. Det skyldes at man skal være heldig for at finde en ”rigtig” engelsk restaurant. Men det er selvfølgelig dejligt, at den traditionelle engelske pub stadig eksisterer.
Som turist overraskes man over, at der denne gang er lige så snavset i undergrundsbanen som sidst. Der er tilsyneladende ingen til at sørge for, at snavs og affald fjernes. Til trods for at undergrundsbanen transporterer flere millioner mennesker til og fra arbejde dagligt, synes den ikke at være blevet moderniseret siden krigen. Jeg er sikker på, at undergrundsbanen er en af de mest ubekvemme og nedslidte i verden.
Det var et chok at gense de gamle elegante kvarterer som f.eks. Kensington. De er nu invaderet af folk fra Mellemøsten. Husenes facader er skaller, gesimser falder ned, og gennem vinduerne uden gardiner får man øje på arabere, der ligger på madrasser, mens de ryger og holder palaver fra morgen til aften og natten med.
Nå, ikke flere pessimistiske betragtninger om London – jeg glæder mig til at besøge dig.
Kærlig hilsen Joan



London, the 28 of December

Dear Mary
It was really disappointing to visit London again after so many years. I am sure that London and Rome are in competing to be the most boring capital in Europe. You might wonder that it has come this far, when you think about that London was the center of the world in the swinging ‘60s – think on Carnaby Street and the Rolling Stones. There is no doubt that the famous English Sunday which is the boringness itself has been broad to the rest of the days in the week. No you say that everyday is a Sunday in London.
I am disappointed that there is not longer possible to get a good cop of tea or a good meal. It is caused by that you are must be lucky to find a “real” English restaurant. Off course it is nice that the traditional English pub still exists.
As tourist you is surprised that there this time is just as dirty in the subway as last. There is apparently no one to take care of that dirt and rubbish are removed. In spite of that the subway transportates several hundred people to and from work daily, it does not seems like it has been modernized since the war. I am sure that the subway is one of the most uncomfortable and worn-down places in the world.
It was a chock to see the old elegant districts as FX Kensington. They are invaded by people from the Middle East. The fronts of the houses peel off, the cornices falls down, and through the windows without curtains you catch sight of Arabians, who lies on mattresses while they are smoking and holds palaver from the morning to the afternoon and the night with.
Well, no more pessimistic considerations about London – I look forward to visit you.

Love Joan
