James May's Interesting Take on Hammersmith

Didn't know he was local but he obviously knows and likes the area well if this article from the Telegraph is anything to go byhttp://tinyurl.com/675lore

"Gin Bob Brie" (Hello)"Yak Shim Mash" (How are you)Once upon a time the Polish Posk building was a Baptist Church..certainly in the late 1950's /1960's. Yes an unusual style for a church.I haven't been to Posk in recent years but I certainly did quite regularly 10,15 and 20 years ago. There was a magic atmosphere there, a tingling experience of meeting people from the other side of the Iron Curtain.The sound of the ladies speaking their attractive (to me) language...the elderly men with their medals.. the restaurant on the first floor with a Hungarian Gypsie violinist playing romantic and dashing sounds. Wow I occasionally dined and danced there, visit art exhibitions..and surveyed the scene with friends.Entering the building was a mini holiday and the presence of Posk there attracted small Polish cafes in the area too..Adam & Axxxx? being a special delight.I'm getting carried away.. I'll be off. Chin queer! (Thank you)!

What a very good article.....and his last comment, "If we’re not modern now, there won’t be any history in the future", is something I have never thought of.......but how true.  As he says, things we now love at one time were modern.
