Betting shop blues

Betting shop, Whitechapel 1986
The man wearing a hat is waiting for a result to appear on the display on the opposite wall. I’ve never seen anyone smiling in a betting shop. Customers always seem to be depressed. Another characteristic of behaviour is that customers appear to be in their own world separated from everyone else. Conversation is infrequent so there is an eery silence even when the betting shop is crowded.

Man resting, Brick Lane 1986
Here we see the man with a hat taking a break on Brick Lane. Does he have any money left?
