Well, I thought when I was making seriously good money, I thought it would be really, really rude of me to drop dead and not be able to spend all that money on my kids.
So anyway, so I started going to the gym like last May, ran back to Selfridges.
And Oxford Street now is actually more Arab than Dubai, right?
I literally, and I mean, you know, these are all law-abiding people.
I'm not complaining about the fact that they're here.
It's an observation, right?
You see more and more Arab families.
You see groups of women wearing the full burqa, you know, five wives walking behind a guy.
You know, it's there for everybody to see.
Yeah, always walking behind.
And it's hard not to notice it.
And I'm sorry if people don't like it, but I'm not going to live in a world where I'm not going to say something about it because...
When I used to go to Oxford Street when I was a teenager, it didn't look like that.
People were walking, they were always foreigners.
My parents used to delight in taking us to different foreign nationality restaurants.
Once every week, we would go to a Polish restaurant, we'd go to an Italian restaurant, we'd go to an Indian.
There were swamis we went to in the old days.
We'd go to Chinese restaurants, go to Jewish restaurants.
It was great.
because that was part of being in london it was a melting pot but now it's not like that anymore because now it's a kind of it feels oppressive to me that there are so many people here from somewhere else
