We are to be careful on 1st and 2nd of April.
Protestors will be in town, in my manor, intruding in my space.
I am told to dress down, perhaps work from home, don't make eye contact, avoid crowds etc.
I remember ten years ago Mayday 1999, being trapped in a building off Canon Street for a Friday afternoon as riot police tried to hold the line against somewhat violent protestors. Leaving the office later in the day the ground was thick with broken glass, there was no traffic and of course McDonalds was trashed.
Being a prudent individual I will withdraw from the space which I regard as mine - the City, and all the little side streets and cycle ways which lead me there. I will work from home but I will follow the news to see how all the visitors treat the streets I know and love.
I hope the protests will be like those on Saturday - peaceful and fun. But the presence of so many world leaders in our capital is , I am told , likely to draw in anarchists and facists from Germany and Italy and France whose approach to protest is one of violence.
For the next two days the City is yours. But on third it will be mine again.
