Long Street is a room in Lowsea, south of your office and outside of your office. "Outside your office, the traffic speeds past in a slow crawl and your lungs fill with carbon monoxide fumes as you admire the bus stop which stands on the litter-covered pavement."
[ Long Street East and West just extend infinitely in their respective directions ]
Long Street West is a room in Lowsea with printed name "Long Street (West)". Long Street West is west of Long Street. "Wandering along here is no joke, as you're continually hustled by mothers with prams, jostled by pin-stripe suited business men and deafened by dear screaming infants. Obviously not one of life's greatest pleasures..."
West of Long Street West is Long Street West.
Long Street East is a room in Lowsea with printed name "Long Street (East)". Long Street East is east of Long Street. "The street continues east and west for quite some distance, and is absolutely no fun to walk along, as you have to dodge all the old dears charging around with their shopping trolleys to remain in one piece..."
East of Long Street East is Long Street East.
[ LONG STREET WEST ]
The mothers are scenery in Long Street West.
The prams are scenery in Long Street West.
The pin-stripe suited businessmen are scenery in Long Street West. Understand "men" as the businessmen.

The shopping trolleys are scenery in Long Street East.
Every turn when in Long Street:
if the anorak is not worn begin;
say "The wind whistles along the street and you shiver. Feeling too cold to stay outside, you return to the office.";
now the player is in your office;
end if.
