A look at London


London, what a place. So many people, but its great. All the houses in london are stuck together, it was like walking onto coronation street. And not only that, they are all the same colour!!! You will not find a green or blue house in this city, thats for sure. and if by some chance i do, im gonna take a picture of it. I think nearly everybody in this city owns a hatchback. And believe me you would not want anything bigger. The streets are very narrow, you quite often have to stop and let someone come down the street before you head up it. Lots of horn blowing and head lights flashing, and this is not to be rude. Thats their secret code for 'i'm letting you in' or 'i'm right beside you, dont cross into me'. So if someone beeps at you, you do not give them the finger and swear. No no no, you smile and wave and say 'Thank you'. I asked George about wearing my money belt, he advised me not to. BECAUSE 'if you got mugged you'd lose everything pip'. Made me feel quite safe that did. ha ha ha. It really isnt a bad city at all. As long as your street wise. And pigeons, there's heaps of these around. And i got told 'these are not lovely birds to feed, they are rats with wings'. ha ha ha. and i am beginning to think like that too. The pubs here are usually closed by 11.30 - 12.00. But i am getting use to asking for a pint. The laundry mat down the road charges £9 for a load of washing. Thats $9.00 NZ. Thank God we have a machine in the flat. Well these are just a few little difference that i have noticed, but to sum everything up really only takes 2 words: CORONATION STREET.
