    This was Nathan's original shop that I remember as a child in the 60s. They moved to a new shop around 1971,which is the one most people know. They have just announced that they are closing down for good on 26th May. West Ham football ground moving to Stratford was probably what finally finished them off.

      @@AmandaEm7 - Well spotted, I hadn't noticed. Funnily enough, I was just thinking today about a girl I worked with years ago who used to scoff about ten digestive biscuits at lunch before taking a swig of her cuppa. She probably downed that in one, an all, it's so long ago I can't remember. She used to drink tea straight from the spout of the teapot and peel bananas with her feet, I definitely remember that.
      We were certainly too poor and too numerous to be taken out to eat. On the upside, Ma made her own bread on a day-to-day basis and every meal was made from scratch - no processed junk - so I was a fine physical specimen. Albeit slightly behind the curve sartorially due to hand-me-down clobber. Put it this way: in a school of would-be punk rockers, I was the only Rubette. And not a particularly proud Rubette, I might add. But I was the only first year student in the U13s (second year) footy side.

    This video clearly attracted few racists claiming how immigration ruined everything. It would be good idea to look at 400 years of British colonial past and lootings before complaining about immigration.
    Besides, immigrants introduced diverse and amazing food to London and have made London economically richer, colourful and dynamic unlike before. It was depressing and food like 'Jellied Eel' wasn't really appetizing or exciting.
