Thanks for the recommendations Luca and Marianne. I started
it today. Only a few pages in, and I already like the style
and voice, but I have a feeling I may have a number of
questions aboutBrit slang along the way.
Here's my first query: "They're turning over any business
that couldn't go running back to the Other People, sex shops
and massage parlors, doing blags long after they went outta
fashion, doing loads of drugs and not giving a fuck about
keeping a low profile."
I'm guessing capitalized "Other People" is a reference to
organized crime, but what are "blags"?
