although this cover may suggest otherwise, it was stated somewhere that Alzack & Bisca moved from the West separately and only met at the guild

So let’s talk carriages.
A somewhat common belief is that carriage companies are abusive to their horses- that we push them beyond their limits, forcing them to work in high heat and biting cold. That we push them to the verge of collapse pulling impossibly heavy loads. But none of this is true. Any responsible carriage business refuses to take jobs in weather the horses can’t stand and monitors their pulling weight. At the moment our largest rig completely loaded can be pulled by my dad on a flat surface- let alone two draft horses whose pulling capacity is 14,400 pounds on rolling stock. We also give our horses a rest day between jobs to make sure we don’t overwork them.
Another thing is that many working horses actually enjoy their jobs! Our girls willfully load themselves onto the trailer and easily maneuver themselves into place to be hooked up. We used to own a retired carriage puller who’d stand in the paddock and begin whinnying until we put a collar on him, he missed working that much.
Yet another belief is that once a horse is retired it’s sent off to the grinder. It’s rare for businesses to do that. We personally keep retired horses around and they live the rest of their days in the paddock. In fact, their life spans are longer than average for their breed due to the healthy exercise they get through their work!
There’s likely more I’m forgetting to explain right now, but questions are always welcome! No question is a stupid question.

Where’s Wally and tube trains in Shoreditch
Actually this is a bit of fake urban setting. The tube trains are genuinely urban and have been on this rooftop for years. However, the Where’s Wally mural is actually advertising a Sky TV channel for kids
