-St. George's Church
-Fab Cafe
-Starbucks in The Light shopping centre
Key observations at St. George's Church:
- They are setting up for Christmas and for a contemporary carol worship band that weekend, overheard a woman saying how excited she was
- Probably the most modern church I've been to
- Everyone here is in such a good mood and is happy
- "Altar" looks more like a stage
- I had to be buzzed in to enter, which was odd
Key questions:
- What did the man mean when I overheard him say "The elves would do the killing"?
- Was everyone here happy because they're Christian, or is that just circumstantial?
- Is that worth thinking about?
- What kind of church buzzes people in?
I was given a booklet of facts by Brian, the church caretaker - he told me that the church was build in 1838, suits 1600 people to accommodate the growing Christian population and changing environment, there is a large student population, the crypt was opened in the 1930s, but is now used as a soup kitchen for the homeless, etc.
Key Observations at Fab Cafe:
- Smelt like a mixture of urine and lager
- Was playing Tim Burton's Batman
- Full of memorabilia
- There was a pub quiz going on that night
- Round 2 of the quiz was Harry Potter themed
- Guy sitting next to us was determined that "Bono" was the answer to every question.
Key Questions:
- Where do they get all this memorabilia?
- How much would it all sell for on ebay?
- I wonder if anyone comes here just to watch a movie?
- How many people here are regulars?
- Should I apply for a job here?
Key Observations at Starbucks:
- Cash lady had a very squeeky voice
- Everyone goes to Starbucks in pairs
- There's an ordinary loking guy with an oversized full red suit under an overcoat
- 12:31pm - A tall formally dressed woman meets the man in red suit
- Many people walk through this shopping centre multiple times
Key Questions:
- How did they get those huge dangling Christmas decorations in the middle of the roof?
- What was the man in red suit's meeting about?
- What was in that mysterious long package that guy in a high vis jacket was carrying?
- What's in that one window with the light on?
- Why is the Starbucks logo a mermaid?
