Some more of my favourites from a wander around Stoke. I talked to a few people as I strolled around. One was an ex-potter, sickened by the way he and his town had been abandoned. Others assumed I was from 'the council' or some other officious outsider - Stoke's been kicked around by government and everybody else, and there's an ingrained assumption that any further action can only include more kickings.
