Jesús and Sarah have also selected some large chocolate bars, to share with the others after dinner, plus a couple of jars of seville marmalade and bramble jelly that Sarah means to take home for Carol.
"This is like being in Chinatown", says Jesús.
"Chinatown is way nicer and way more interesting " says Sarah.
"Why are there so many Chinese here then?"
"In the nineties, thousands came here from Hong Kong", say I, "Because of the Handover, when Beijing took control in 1997. People were frightened, afraid for their money, their investments, their freedoms, and even for their lives."
"But why they move all here to Richmond"
"Your guess is as good as mine. What do you think, Sarah?"
"I don't have a clue. But it is good to have them all here..."
