Blimey
I was only in London for five minutes when I was accosted by a young(ish) woman, in tears, saying that she had just had a fight with her partner and would I help her to get back to her 'mum'. She only needed a couple of pound for the bus fare. I offered to phone the police for her and she disappeared. What are visitors to the Olympics going to think if this is the norm?
This, incidentally was on Euston Road in front of the library opposite that wonderful building that was St. Pancras hotel and not up some side street. You can keep Your cities, give me the back of the sticks any day.
Grump over.
Other than that, it has been a fabulous day.
