In the last couple of months I have been forced to make use of the rail network in London due to no tube lines stretching out to South East London. Not that I like the tube, it’s dusty and hot but I will use it if I absolutely have to.

There is this fantastic program out there that not only gives back to the community but it restores a sense of pride as well as rewarding you for you time and effort. This program is called Orange RockCorps. This is the second year that I have volunteered four hours of my time in exchange for a gig ticket that can not be bought anywhere.
