Footfall in Albany

1. Morning

Is all about frail, weightless, frightened older men who come into cafe for daily three hour coffees, game of cards and who all talk endless bollocks about non existent winning horses.

2. Afternoon

Is mainly about shapeless local smackheads and hard core druggies who come into cafe to settle small debts and to boast about knowing where next deal is going to happen.

3. Evenings

End of the day for some, sees cheap fatty meals and shelter from the pain of the street.

4. Late Nights

Is all about 'real money' being made in busy stockrooms of empty shops.
