A love affair with the city of London

 

I love London...I just Love It!! I love living in a city, I love the diversity of THIS city! The sights, the smells (well some of them not so much), the sounds!!!

So today I ran some errends and then I was like, I want to see a play tonight, so I went and got standby tickets for Glen Garry Glen Ross, a Mamet play! I'm really excited! So here are some more facts about London

Sirens are a fact of life, you will always hear them, likewise with airplane and sometimes car horns

The sales tax is worked into the price, so when it says it will be 1,25 pounds, then that is all you have to pay, none of this estimating 5% crap...I really like it

Another thing, they dont use periods to seperate pounds from pences, they use commas, for example 1.25 is how we would do it but 1,25 is how they would write it

They charge you more if you are going to eat in a cafe then if you carry it out

Kings Cross ALWAYS smells....it's best not to ask why....

NEVER try to climb the broken escalator at Angel....it is the size of 3 normal escalators and you will be dead before the top

Elevators are lifts

You know how we call dollars "bucks"? Well they call pounds "quid"
