It’s a cold grey February afternoon, I’m depressed, anxious, nervous, walking down the street looking for some salvation. But to be frank the bleak urban wasteland of St Pancras Way is just about enough to tip me over the edge.

On a weekday there are very few people on the street. I see a couple of track suit bottom wearing blokes get out of a van with St.George's flags painted on the back window panels. They disappear into the neighbouring complex of flats.

A single mother locks her flat door on the third floor whilst shouting for her daughter. He son sucks on some E-numbered lollypop.

I look into a dinghy ground floor flat window and see a room full of boyish men, sat on a sofa, looking like they haven’t really officially gotten out of bed, laughing and larking about. It’s a February weekday afternoon. Bleak times but it’s these times when you’ve got to make the effort and get out and do a bit of work. Better yourself. What are you doing? Maybe they're sociology students. Maybe they're illegal immigrants who can't get or don't want to get a job.

February weather, cold and bleak, St Pancras Way, even worse – and just like those lads all I really want to do is hibernate.
